I'm sure it drops off during the summer vacation season. About the move to digital, are people really (at least people who are Leicaphile enough to post here) dumping their Leica gear in order to go digital ? I think not, I still use anything I can get my hands on which is suited to the weight to be carried, the situation, the weather etc, etc and this varies from Rollei Medium Format,Canon RF,Canon AF Film,Canon AF Digital, Yashica /Contax and, of course, Leica RF and SLR - Horses for courses. The last time I gave up on a camera was the Rollei SL2000F, a couple of old Zeiss's and a Mamiya 220f which were sold in to finance an M2. Might be interesting to hear whether anyone here is thinking of changing,or has changed, for reasons digital. Douglas bdcolen@earthlink.net schrieb: >Don't get me wrong, Tina - or anyone else.
