Well, that's a big IF. But you can count me in (because I feel certain
that film will still be around).

I don't get very intellectual or rational (how could I?) about my Leicas.
I've banged them around with me for over 30 years now and I've never even
considered photography without them.

I do short stints into Rollei (like them too), Nikon (SLR) and digital.
It's all photography. As long as there's light, I'll be like a kid waking
up on his birthday.

So I'll be silly and you can fumble with your empty cameras (you DO have a
freezer, don't you? Get back to processing your own film. Don't get
dependent on that C41 stuff).

Best,
Daniel
