Subject: [Leica] Random Ranter - I want my digital M8!

A random rant:

With the arrival of a new year of PAW and decades of darkroom experience
under my belt I have to admit I have snapped..
I have stood by film and still love it - But (gosh darnit) I want my digital
M rangefinder!
The photos you digital LUG heads are posting look super - and it is killing
me.

Maybe the instant gratification thing has gotten to me, but the thought of
processing 10 rolls of film and running them through my film scanner is
starting to seem more and more onerous. (Flame off here - YES I know- 100
years ago I would have been slowly poisoning myself in the preparation my
own glass plates..)

This is an oft-discussed topic, but is it really that far off?
Leica are you listening? Build it and they (well..some) will come.

Serenity Now!
Eric


and yet.. the smell of fixer still seems to sooth my spirit..
