[Leica] Canon 30D?

[jplaurel at spectare.com (Jim Laurel)]

Exactly the point.  I work in technology.  In fact, some of you who  
volunteered to Alpha test our new product (highly related to  
photography) will see what I've been working on for the last year  
very soon.  Alpha invites are going out today.

I live with technological change every day and I love it.  But  
photography has always been a haven for me.  I love the tactile  
experience of working with  fine machines.  I don't get the chance to  
work on fine, well-designed equipment much these days.  I don't care  
about pixels or accuracy really.  I have a certain look in mind and  
that aesthetic seems to be achievable with Leica glass and film.  I  
do use other cameras, but I don't get the same satisfaction from  
using them and, most importantly, I don't get the results I'm looking  
for.  When I'm taking accurate photos for the insurance adjuster I  
use digital.  When I want to make a beautiful photo, I use an M6.

Many people have told me that I can get my look through Photoshop  
which is no doubt true.  But geez, like many of us, I spend all day  
at the computer as it is.  I don't want to sit in front of a machine  
in my spare time as well, even if it is a Macintosh.
