I don't know about you, but my film and processing bills have ceased to
exist.  I was spending  $2600 a year according to my tax return.  I only
have a few editorial clients.  I deliver my pictures via my server to them.
I don't spend hours at the scanner.  I'm writing off the camera this year.

I got a call from Louisiana Life magazine for stock of a shot I had from my
M7  film days, and when I looked at it, I was embarrrased by the quality of
the scan.  (Nikon 5000)  the Leica  M8 files are so much better.  I begged
the art director to let me reshoot, but he said it was fine.  I hope he
plays it small.

I thank Brian every day I shoot that camera for pushing me forward.
