those photos are really nice, but I personally think it would be better presented if it were photographed in someone's hands to give it some perspective

Does anyone remember the e-bay photo of a camera offered for sale being held by a well-endowed woman?

I don't remember that one, Frank. If you see it, would you post it, so that I can determine for myself the whole moral fiber of such a presentation?
The black Zeiss Ikon is certainly a beautiful looking piece of work...well-endowed with a fine black finish.

What are the issues and pros and cons with this camera compared with a Leica, and what does the warrantee cover and by how long?

Ehh... those pictures are alright, but I'd much rather stare at the real deal right here in my hands.
For Monaho, if you go to the following link and go to the "intro" portion of the site, then go down towards the bottom of the page you will see a link with a comparison between the M7, ZI, and R3a (sorry, I can't directly link you). It really is a great camera. I own both the ZI and an M2 and love them both. Both cameras have a completely different feel, but both are excellent to use in their own way.

My M5s need red dots!
I had a silver body in my hands once. They're surprisingly light.
But I'll keep my Leicas... no matter if this ones have a 1/2000 top shutter speed (and don't we need it sometimes ).

How could anyone forget that one!
It was Richard Osterling's auction for a Leica M7 titanium, I believe.. at $8,000 a pop!

Just WHAT did you think that auction was for, George? What were YOU bidding for?

Pretty! Now let's see, after about 3 years, what doused cameras sell for, 60% of their original value? Of course by then, they'll have the digital version out and I'll be lusting after that.
Just an aside. The shutter has those blades, and one is lighter than the others. Is this to help make it "weighted", IE the white reflects more? Could you take the blades and pain them to get a true center weighted, or even close to a spot meter effect?
