True, Gene, but I've never owned one. I do own an old Vivitar projector,
which I have literally not used in about 30 years, but I never owned a
screen. ;-)

1. Don't sit by the fireside reviewing negatives;
2. If the results are outstanding, I won't care what lens produced them;
3. True - battery independence is a wonderful thing; but not carrying
film, one has more room to carry extra batteries; 4. What's a screen?

Sonny,
But you will miss that binder of negatives that you can review at a
single glance sitting by the fireside. You will miss those brilliant
Leica M or R lenses. You will miss the battery independence of the M6.
You will miss the brilliant slides you can project across a 6-foot
screen. You will miss the immortality of silver images. A Leica M on a
shelf: 'Not bloody likely,' as Eliza Doolittle says to us all.
