I'd love to have a digital camera which would take my M lenses. Have to 
be full frame because a 28 should be a 28, etc....There is no doubt 
digital is the future (and the here and now for many) but I don't mind 
retouching my color negs in PS. I did spend a lot of effort finding a 
lab which did fairly good work. It's not the local pro lab but a 
Walgreens.  :-)
