Wouldn't it be a fabulously successful venture for Solms to pursue, given the almost hysterical devotion we Leica owners are guilty of. Imagine being able to use my Leica both with film AND photoshop. The flexibility couldn't be more comprehensive to say nothing of what effect it may have on the entire industry. Of course there is the planned obsolescence part of it, which may prevent the whole effort, i.e.; "can we make more money selling new digital cameras than selling attachments to existing ones"? All I know is if Leica came out with a digital back for their M's I would buy both, in addition to adding a back or two to my R collection. Maybe I'm out in left field on this one but I get excited when I think of the possibilities. Mike - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
