Matthias,
I think you may have a very good point, I, and many others I have spoken to
are not willing to pay Leica prices for an antiquated, IMHO, system. I have
tested both the Leica and Contax waters, and I must say the lenses (and
results) were excellent, but the rangefinder system is just too inflexible for
me. Give me my OMs any day!
I just hope Olympus continues to fully support the lens line.
