[Leica] Confession time!

[Jim at hemenway.com (Jim Hemenway)]

I vote yes.

BTW, after using a Kodak/Nikon DCS460 now for almost two years, I'm glad 
that I didn't sell my analog gear.  Digital is great for work but I 
prefer film, namely chromes for everything else.

If I get desperate for $$$ and need to do weddings again, I'll buy a new 
digital.  Without one, every wedding is 40-60 hours of work.
