Period. Hmmm...this seems so absolute. If you mean in the photojournalistic markets then you're absolutely correct. It's digital world now and anything that shoots film just isn't in the ballgame any more. I think it won't be long before we see little "satellite dish" hats for photojournalists in the field so they can upload their images. (an image for humor only - we all know that dishes are passe). But there are certainly professionals who use Leica 35's for environmental portraiture and even for landscape photography where the choice of film and lens can be adapted to the desired look of the final work. In these situations it's not irrelevant at all. At least that's my thought. Adam - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
