I love my M5 and two M6es. Non of my lenses are current, only one was bought new, the 28 Elmarit I bought almost 10 years ago now. My 35 is the old 4th gen sumicron and my 90 is the last non APO ASPH. My Noctilux I bought over 10 years ago..what that thing is worth now is crazy. The Voigtlander lenses are quite good and fun to shoot with. My 12mm is a really cool little lens as is the 40 1.4 Anyway the reason the Digital talk is ruling the list these past few days is because Photokina just happened and there is all this new stuff to talk about. When it is all said and done many of the photos you will see posted are shot with Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Leica and other digitals. I'll post stuff shot with my little Fuji S20, my canon S5IS, EOS 40D or 1DsIII or scanned film from my Leicas or old Nikons. In the end it is the photo that matters not what it was shot with.
