[Leica] decline in LUG membership

[frank.dernie at btinternet.com (FRANK DERNIE)]

Hi Dan.
The digital rebel will be MUCH better than the Pro1
because it has a much bigger better sensor. The same
difference as 35mm to MF IMHO. Despite what is  said
about digital lenses the Canon EOS  lenses I have used
have all worked well with digital. Obviously zoom
lenses will be inferior to primes. 
cheers
Frank
