Pictures are very crisp and can be enlarged up to 30x40cm with plenty of detail. But...you cannot use more speed than 50 ISO as the noise will be huge! The autofocus is rather slow and sometimes inaccurated and it's not as easy as a Leica M with his menus end so on. The Rebel -the best output quality/price ratio digital camera- has less Megapixels but a overall better image quality due to his bigger pixel size. About the decline in this list? I have long ago switched to digital -Canon EOS 1Ds- but whe I remember than the skill comes fron the experience not from the equipment I love reading this list messages and learn from the people who is here even -maybe specially- when they are OT. More and more people is going to digital and trading their Leica cameras and lenses. I keep my three bodies and my nine lenses including the Noctilux. And time to time I use them just for fun. Just for fun I'll follow reading the list as far as it will exist. Felix PS Few flames lately!
