Rather than spend the $K's building a new one, took the plunge and instead have been digital since then. Kodak PJ100 film in Leica R into Polaroid SprintScan35 into PowerPC Adobe Photoshop.

I first noticed the 'Leica Difference' because of side by side scans I did of film shot through one of my Nikons and (believe it or not) a Leica Mini Zoom. You could immediately see the difference in contrast and flare and bokeh and all the other goodies we wax so lyrical about.

(A Day In The Dank Room = Cough, Gag, Choke...) - --- All my work ends up being viewed on computers. Either on client's www sites or multi-media CD-ROMs, or else my own www site. Haven't done a print in years & don't miss it all. Mind you, *do* miss processing my own film. All my C41 negs are done in a lab and sometimes they are really careless with thumb prints and scratches. This never happened with *my* B&W film! So, any reasonable home-C41 kits on the market?...
