Yeah agreed. If Leica hopes to fetch their prices they need to step up their efforts. Although historically it will take them a while to change. They cant compete in terms of value. No one will argue against their quality of glass or build. I think they are hoping to tie some of their loyal followers in with these less pricey Panasonic bodies, sacrifice some metal for plastic and not quite the same "elite" target market. It is nice to see Leica glass out there pushing the competition to better themselves.
