This is, frankly what has me worried about the digital M - aside from the price. ;-) Ah, dear B.D. and what if one owns a Noctilux and wishes to use it for digital at 800 iso? See this is what you are missing about the DMR, the sales of them are relatively low, but people already own the camera and the glass. Witness all the people who struggle to make good pictures by cobbling up a Canon with it's gawdawful ergonomics with Leica glass. I can't believe you are constantly bringing up the price as an argument. Sure it is cheaper to own an Oly like you, or a Pentax *istDs like mine. But at the same time I got this chunk of glass that sucks the light out of a room, and I want to use it. If I had an R8 and a few lenses, I'd probably be in that line for a DMR. So now I wait, and wish. Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana Oldest continuous settlement in La Louisiane ?galit?, libert?, crawfish
