Subject: [Leica] Film + Scanner

Lew wrote that shooting film and using a scanner is okay until the scanner 
tanks and then it takes longer because you have to process the film, scan 
before using Photoshop. He doubts other companies will make a dedicated B&W 
camera and if they do he implied it wouldn't be a range finder.
Let me respond:
I've thought about all that and would agree. Like Lew, I am a street shooter 
and for that a range finder is prima. Es gibt nichts Besseres. SLR's are too 
slow, too clumsy.?
In regards to the scanner dying, I'll wait until that occurs. Why rush a 
replacement? By then, the M9-M ?will be replaced by who knows what.
BTW, isn't it strange that while computers get better and better, the cost 
doesn't rise whereas as Leicas improve, their costs skyrocket. I can't help 
thinking that Leica Corporate knows a cash cow when they see one.
Cheers--Dougals
