The Leica d100 comes equipt with a handy "autodeveloping" back. (nothing
escaped them at solms) The film is instantly souped and you can view it (as
a positive!) on the back of the camera. You can also zoom in and scroll
around to see if there is any dust on your film.

If you feel so inclined, you could also leave one of the "multi-elmars" on
the camera which allows you to select between multiple focal lengths at the
twist of a german engeneered dial. Leaving the same lens on the camera all
day has various advantages. One of which is that dust never gets on the film
plane.
