Hi
I have posted before about my wierd inability to ''see'' / connect to / make real , most cameras ... including my new Pentax K 10 D [ OOPS !!!]
My thought turned to the Panasonic L 1 which I tried when it was far too expensive ... but now , I am trying to dee-vert funds to buy a $400 body from someone in the forum .
I would not want a Leica badged version - it's uneasy being put into the same frame as emma the M 8 - though Leica evidently had a hand in the design and ergomics , to me it's an overdressed Panasonic ... as ever , courting controversy !
Anyway - I have a chrome M 8 - I would love a black one - but the L 1 will do fine
The deecision was finalised when I realised that like many , I had been caught up in the pixel perfection race ..
I will never need the ultimate '' resolution '' - much more important is being t ease with a camera - as I am with the camera .
Finally , uniquely , I can use my familiar 24 / 28 / 35 / 45/ 50 / 80 / 135 Rokkors on BOTH the M 8 and the shallow bodied [not that it looks like it ! ] L 1 .. and they take SD cards ! That was the clincher ... it's gonna be confusing about the focal length magnification on each though !
I am hoping to complete the deal shortly . I can't wait !
Maybe it's a touch of style over substance - but heck - I have been a dee-signer for many decades [ deaf aids ?]

Little confused. Are you looking for an L1?
