Thoughts? Not likely. The mechanism to cock the shutter is probably much lighter and doesn't need as much power as the one that moves film. But if it does, that would be pretty tick. But on the other hand, I have a feeling anyone who uses this camera at 10mp, if it's anywhere near as good as the Canon 1Ds (something I won't believe until I see it) they will drop most film like a hot potato. I was a film fan and doubted digital would match it any time soon. But having used a six mp camera for almost a year now, I have to say I can't imagine film offering most people a compelling reason to put up with it's down side (grain, lack of white balance, processing, expense). Sure, if you like film and the process of working with it, that's great. The qualities of the images will be different. But better or worse, not any more.

The corporations encourage that, of course, because the asymmetry benefits them." - --"Ethics Matters" columnist Carlton Vogt - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
