That's simply incredible.

I just returned from an out of town trip.  There's a reason only my M came
with me.  Small.  Compact.  This was a business trip first and foremost.
Photos were a secondary concern.  A big, bulky digital SLR wouldn't have
made the cut.

Of course, I still needed to make sure I had enough film.  Turns out that I
really only had enough time to break away for photos so that I only shot 1
roll and a few frames into a second one.  Film is a real pain taking through
airports these days.  Not sure it was entirely worth the hassle of
hand-checking my film on each part of the trip.

I want a digital M the same size as my current one.  I'm not sure Leica can
market it at a price I'm willing to spend, though.
