    Nice, wish Nikon did the same and insert a D700 sensor into an FM3a…

    Actually, the idea is not that bad. I don’t like the idea of the cheap little lens poking out but what if he ripped out the cheap lens, chucked on a M mount adaptor with a juicy bit of M glass… now we are talking! … or is that just do it yourself micro 4/3rds? Hmmm, ok, lol, rip out the sensor from an D700, transplant it into that little set up with an M mount adaptor and hey presto, a M (ala carte ish) 10 with the high iso capability of a D700 coupled with the best glass money can buy…

    I can dream can’t I?

    Well done. I guess this is as close as most of us are going to get to a digital M even if we have the money to buy a real one…. Leica are simply unable to supply product and whoever is in charge of brand marketing needs to be taken out behind the chemical shed and shot in the back of zee head… a store-in-store at Willoughbys..??? WHAT THE…???
