DigitalRev have it listed for Au$5K

Body only.

I wonder what Poon can get it to us for? Not that I'm in any way serious about this at this time.

Gotta admit I kinda melted a little when I read the specs and review.
Deep down I'm a purist but find myself in a psychadelic world of digital wizardry. Oh well! Gotta move with the times I suppose.

I find the concept of using some of the old classic Leica glass on a state of the art digital camera, and using the old rangefider methods for focus etc, to be almost irresistable.

I would hope that the camera has a B&W mode, so that you can just shoot mono. I think that would be very elegant.
