[Leica] Why a digital M

[Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com (Frank Dernie)]

Yea but look at the results - scanned film is nowhere near as good as 
you write. I use a Nikon 8000 scanner and scanned film 35 is very 
comparable to my 6mpxl EOS, better in some ways, worse in others. 
Scanned 6x7 negs have more resolution but are still inferior in some 
ways because of the grain.
