	Hi -

	Nonsense. Never say never when it comes to technology!

	Sorry to break the news to you: There's a picture of
	the Leica S1 digital camera on p. 30 of the May '97
	PopPhoto. Good News: It uses M- and R- lenses.

	Digital electronic and mechanical?

	I hate it too but it's a fact of life. 'Happy shooting.
