I am aware that there is still a bunch of serious Leica camera enthusiasts out there inspite of the digital enthusiasm of recent years. IMO, it is not an issue to compare and debate between film and digital. They are just different. Perhaps one can say that film photography is akin to oil painting and digital to water-colour. I am aware that Lee Yan Zhan is still souping his black and white films. I met Roland Tan recently at Ron's and he was happily showing us his new digital body but fitted with a 50mm traditional Leica M lens. I would like to invite all Leica enthusiasts who are still using either a traditional film base leica lens (SM, M or R lens) and/or a traditional film Leica camera (Rangefinder or SLR) to contact me off-line so that I can put you on a SLUG database and possibily arrange a get together in Singapore. Sorry to have to exclude those with pure digital hardware however true blue Leica these may be at this point in time but we have to be somewhat focussed on a certain degree of Leica nostalgia. Looking forward to hearing from you guys and gals. Bests, Dan Khong
