Come on, Mark- Leica doesn't learn its lessons from Leica - If it did,
it wouldn't be around any more.

Well I have a strong interest in Digital R for Leica - back or body -
even though I have no investment in Leica R glass. Yet.

The existence and viability of Digital R would easily get me into Leica
R glass. I am into M glass and that's why I'm here on the LUG. I am into
Nikon glass and that's my digital SLR so far.

MY Nikon film bodies need to be played with by somebody they are sure
not even fondled much my me. Maybe somebody should run some film though
them so the rails don't rust.

But I do agree with BD that if Nikon came out with a digital body it
would not have issues with swap-ability. They'd surely learn from
Leica's lesson and not have that happen. It's not like they're some very
small company playing with a new technology which is totally foreign to
them. Like Leica.
