For me to put that glass to work is a real cost effective deal; For me and any clients I might happen to land. - not going to get from the run of the mill DSLR shooter results from hyped up zooms and micromoters.. Just like it did in the 90's except it was an SLR shooter they're not getting the run of the mill from. Same thing. Except now there's 480 pix on a roll instead of 36. And you don't have to pay for the roll. And you get a little window on the back you can peak at the pictures first. Though now we have an 18mm lens and a wide tri elmar to play with. More than evening the score with the DSLR wonderfulness which has become the default. Plus a wide assortment of old Leica glass going back to the pre 50's screw mount stuff plus all the innovative and cost effective Cosina Voigtl?nder stuff just out in the past decade.
