Probably should, as people seem to still be buying some of this stuff, but what to replace it with. And so in the end I've done nothing at all but lie on the beach wrapped up in a shawl. If I need an SLR in the near future, I think it will still be the R9/dmr, but I'd so love Leica to "upgrade" the system. Dreaming. After all, I'd love Rollei to release a digital back for the 3003 as well ;-) Alastair
