I'm an amateur photographer; I've spent a substantial sum of money on my gear, but I am depressingly aware that I'll recover comparatively little of it. I own four M bodies and eight or nine lenses, and I doubt that I could convert these into even a basic equivalent digital outfit (one body--a couple of decent lenses) without a substantial outlay of cash, which I don't have for this purpose. I suspect that there are many who confront the same issue. I admire you (and the others who are making and acting on the same decision); at the same time, I find this vaguely depressing. When Ted goes digital, we are lost. But, Tina, are you absolutely, hands down, satisfied with the prints that you produce digitally, and would you mind saying a little about how you make them? C Amen, Jim. My Canon D10 will be here Monday and I expect to spend much less time scanning and labeling. Still have to file and caption digitally, but it's a much faster process! My M7 will still be used for personal B&W work, but everything else is going digital. I waited for Leica but I can't wait until 2005!!
