In fact, if memory serves me right, they said that frequent swapping - more frequent than every couple weeks? - will shorten it's life span. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of eric Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2005 6:40 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] will DMR obviate need for R motor? Leica's virtual tour of the DMR implies that the DMR consists of two parts. The digital back, and drive/processor. The 'cartoon' of switching from digital to film implies that you only need to remove the sensor back and not the drive to switch to film.
