[Leica] So long Rodinal. I'm going to miss you.

Bruce, 

I always thought that once could never have too many Leica bodies. I
have 3 rangefinders. Two M6s and an early M3. But even that's not
enough. 

If I put fast and slow bw film in the 2 M6s, I'd find myself needing
color. If I went color and bw, I'd need different film speeds.

To me the big advantage to digicams is the ability to adjust speeds and
to be able to change white balance. The biggest disadvantages are the
lack of good WA options (say what you will about the new ultrawide
digizooms, but they don't compare to the 21/2.8 ASPH), and the bulk of
the equipment. 

If I still had R lenses I'd be very tempted by Doug's R8 :-).

You obviously need another Leica body, Dave.
