Subject: [Leica] digital M

I'd hope to see a digital M that uses existing Leica glass.  I'm getting
confused (easily done) by statements that exiting glass wont work or wont
work well.  My confusion is born from my use of a Fuji S1 with "old" Nikon
lenses that have yielded spectacular results when printed on my Epson 2000P.

If the people in Solms have to reinvent glass for a Digital M it will take
so long to get product to the market that Nikon, Canon, Minolta, Contax,
etc., will probably make quantuum jumps forward while Leica moves at its
traditional teutonic pace.
