Not to mention the overall increase in efficiency, more throughput without losses.

Well, the new M9 heating system is supposed to make much less noise

Vet bills, not strange you ended up in the dog house…

You’re right, Chris. Their top of the line products are equally priced, sky high. But with SLRs, there are at least midrange, semi-professional products as alternatives. I guess the M8 will serve that purpose for a short while, considering it’s not manufactured anymore.

But Nikon and Canon have cameras that cost that much and more and no one ever says that their line of lenses is better than Leica’s. What I mean here is that I find it very interesting that so many people I’ve read are commenting about the price of the new Leica but you hear very few comments when Canon releases a new 1Ds Mk III or Nikon releases a D3x. I wonder if the idea of a rangefinder makes it more like a ‘casual’ camera in people’s eyes, as opposed to a professional tool.

I always list it under Vet Bills.
I always end up in the ‘dog house’ over that also.

Ove, we don’t need a new heating system – they just installed a new one, remember?
