In 1925, the first Leica was gunned down by professionnals in the same manner.A field camera was so good...and the 35mm film so bad. And, at the end of the fifties, Ernst Leitz III did not believe in a reflex camera. A M with a Visoflex2 was so good... IMHO digital camera is the future. My next purchase will be a digital camera, not a Leica camera. And, anticipating the end of the "classic camera" (in 2004), I'm going to disinvest in Leica by selling slowly my gear. Dominique
