I have used digital and with the exception of ultimate resolution I find it superior to film. The reason I would like a digital M back is so I can continue to use my camera with what I consider to be a superior medium, not because there is an inherent fault in any way in the camera. What I would like is my M camera with the largest digital sensor that will fit in the film gate so I don't need to use film any more. I am using an EOS 10D and I hate it compared to my M but my M doesn't take digital so it moulders in its bag unused. It is the first time it is filmless since 1986. There is no need for the back to be heath robinson, if well engineered and fitting any M it would suit a lot of people. I really did not want digital to be any good, I fought against it, but the experience is real. I f there is no digital possibility for my M6 then I will not be using Leica rangefinders much, if at all, any more after 35 years. Sad.
