Nathan- 
It depens as far as I am concerned on the output image quality (and costs)
from film scans and from 24x36mm or comparable CCDs in five years. This is
beyond my imagination, but I do hope Leica will be competent also in digital
imaging with whatever collaboration with other manufacturers. Leica glass
should shine in the digital world.

See you in Cologne.
