Does anyone think their R mount lenses on a digital body will be as good as film? Ditto those that are interested in a M mount Digital camera. There is definitely a place for digital. Especially for newspapers or other journalistic work, those that charge for their work, or those amateurs ( non paid ) that go sports event or animal shooting. Or maybe for the in between that get roped into weddings for friends, soccer team photos, etc. Of course, for family snaps, digital is king and should be. But I do believe that in the realm of making fine art photos ( those that are inherently beautiful) there is room for film only. Your Leica glass is so good, that it is going to be a really long time until there is a digital capture that is anywhere as good. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net The answer they gave is that the filter softens the image, and they want the images to be as sharp as possible.
