We were tired, hungry and sleepy and left the case on the airport luggage cart. See my other posts (basically, 5 suitcases plus one large box, plus couple bags). >just curious - will you buy the R-D1 again, or another model? That's a tough question. My assumption is that if and when the digital M comes out, I would sell my R-D1 and get the digital M. Even if I get only 50% what I paid for, it would have still been a good deal as I have taken ~10,000 pics with it already. Right now, it would be a tough choice. I again have the options: - buy a replacement R-D1 or R-D1s - buy a cheap but good digital camera for the time being (e.g. Olympus E-1 is quite a bargain now, as is the Nikon D-70 etc.) - go back to shoot film If I can be sure that Leica can deliver a digital M to my hands by October 2006, I may go with option #2 or #3. However, as it is unlikely that I will know for sure, I may go with option #2. As this point, #1 is not as likely just because the R-D1(s) is overpriced and I know ultimately I do want the digital M (if it ever does come out). >Didier // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
