A good case well made, Walter. However, as a response to the original article it fails in one area: even at $3000 (what’s $1 between friends!?) it may be a steal for a Leica, but it doesn’t cut it as an “affordable” compact.

I want a Leica M9 for $2999. That’s it.

- Manual focus!

- DOF scales on lenses

- WEATHER SEALING!

- I will gladly trade the 18MP CCD for a 12-14 CMOS sensor (full frame). You can even make it a Fuji SuperCCD sensor, because dynamic range is more important than megapixles (12MP is enough)

- Leica M-mount

- If you put a more sophisticated matrix meter in there I will be eternally thankful. Digital just does not have the very forgiving exposure latitude of negative film and therefore needs a pretty accurate meter. Just pull the meter out of the D700 and we’ll call it even.

- I DO NOT WANT AN EVF for the viewfinder. I need a display that runs in 100% REALTIME.
Just copy what Leica did with the M-series.

- RAW buffer for at least 12 images.

I will purchase two of these cameras if you build them. Maybe three.

mxv… m= flashbulb
X= electronic flash
v= delayed action

probably the best most honest mail order dealer for used stuff…very sad when they went down. gather it was the inland revenue which closed them.

paul, colin, jim and the rest of the team… well done and many thanks

I too was really sad to hear of MXV’s demise. It was an amazing place, so many times I would turn up without even phoning up, asking if they had something, and ore often than not they would – and well, if they didn’t it was just a good excuse to ask about items they had which I could only dream of owning.
I’ve needed them several times recently, their repair service ProTech, was brilliant also..
On a purely selfish note, I often wonder where their stock went..

Leo’s images featured are striking: a fantastical story caught in one dramatic image. Eye catching and original. I love it!
