Hi Keith, I fully agree with you: I prefer a lively forum of a bunch of Leica enthousiasts. Weather rangefinder or reflex! I myself owe 3 SLR-Leicas including R8 with DM-R and 6 rangefinder Leicas. No M8 yet, still waiting for a full-frame Leica. What the heck is a Krasnogorsk F-21? I saw one on Ebay. Looks like a kind of Robot-camera?!
