I agree, and as one of those silent majority types, every once in a while I
feel I need to make our thoughts known.

Please respond to

Just for the record, I have never minded the
1.x factor, and I assume there are others among
the vast silent majority who feel the same way.
Full size would be better, for sure, but I am just
thrilled at being able to use my M and LTM lenses
on a digital body. Actually, much as I love the M
lenses, I am willing to give up on them; the real
thrill is to be able to use a compact, decent
quality, rangefinder digital camera with
interchangeable lenses. Up until now, digital
means small, poor ergonomics P&S, or very large
DSLRs. I like my cameras compact and light
(To me Leica M's are compoact, but not quite light)
