My opinion is that just as long as they keep making film most Leica M's Have as much relevance for tomorrow's photographers as today's. Leica cameras don't need to made relevant. Leica's main product is the M system which is an old classic design going about a continual REFINEMENT. There is bound to be digital backs for 35s coming out just like there is data backs now. That would be all the relevance Leica's would need when they stop making film for all practical porpoises I would predict in twenty or thirty years. Mark Rabiner
