[Leica] Analog v. Digital

[buzz.hausner at verizon.net (Buzz Hausner)]

Perhaps I am alone in the belief that analogue is not the opposite of
digital.  Both film and digital reproduction produce analogies of three
dimensional scenes and objects on a two dimensional surface.  Thus, they
are both a form of analogue reproduction.  The earlier definitions of
analogies refer to different biological organs and organisms that serve
the same function.  It should be sufficient to refer to film and digital
formats.  On the other hand, I do not wish to take up the definition of
digital which, in my opinion, is used inappropriately for photography
and just about everything else, save the digital watch.

I'm not saying that analog will disappear completely, but I do think
that it
will become a medium used by a minority of people, who will be paying a
lot
more for it than they do now.
