[Leica] Minotla cont'd & thanks about the R4

[Aina Nilsen and - or John Gilbert <ainilsen@online.no>]

>>>>>>>>>>Know the feeling.  Except that I went the other way and
bought an R-6 because the Leica optics had the closest
characteristics to the Minolta. <<<<<<<<<

Hmmm. I've used Leica, Nikon, Canon, and Olympus. Never had any experience 
whatsoever with Minolta glass. Anyone care to compare it to any of the 
above for me?

The new Mintolta 9 is making the cover of several German photo mags already 
over here in Europe. Can't say as I'd feel secure with a pop up built in 
flash as far as dust or moisture leakage, but I'm sure the engineers at 
Minolta have covered their tracks.

Incidentally, thanks to all those who answered my query about the R4!!!!
