I was at a UK event here in the UK today and had a chance to play with the DMR. Very neat piece of kit. The conversion from digital to film involves opening the digital back, putting a cover over the sensor and unclipping the DMR - very simple and very quick. Some people have asked if the display on the back interferes with the viewfinder. I didn't have a problem, my cheek didn't press on the back of the camera body. The unit was a dealer demonstration model and didn't have the latest firmware which was why the Leica rep asked me not to post anything. What I can say is that the colours are very very good. Can't judge too much anyway as the camera was in program mode and set to ISO 100 and I was shooting at the long end of the new 28-90mm zoom - camera shake spoils most of the shots I took. If I had an R8/9, had the lenses and deep pockets, I'd be very interested. Steve
