Well..
    Don't that take the cake? It's coming ... soon ... to a Leica Dealer
near you. It's true! My 'Closest Leica Sources' HONESTLY all independently
confirmed it ... like a freight train down a tunnel. This is TRUE I am
ASSURED!!
    The R DIGITAL - the Rd, or RD
As they all say, it will come in the form of a replaceable $7,500.00 around
10 megapixel  '1.3X multiplier' size chip, CMOS in nature. Essentially, you
will take the back off your R8/9, take off the motor or drive if any is
there, and snap the front of the camera onto it's new holder, which will
have all the expected 'stuff' - greater than 2" preview screen, plus all the
stuff one wants to see there and doesn't on any other DSLR's. Why else (as I
am shown what I know is there already) are "All these contacts built in
below the film guide rails? LOOK! See them before?"  Yes - I have - and as
you all as well, wondered why they are there.  Maybe even by the fall, THIS
2003 fall ....
    So, anything new goin' on?
        Ed
