Here's something which may be of interest.

Digital 'film' which you drop into your standard
35mm camera.  It's called the "IMAGEK EFS-1 electronic 
film cartridge":

<http://www.imagek.com/>

Don't get too excited though - last time I looked
it still wasn't available for sale (they say "spring
1999").  Also, if you read the small print on the 
FAQ page it infers that they don't intend making one 
for Leica (R or M) cameras.

Of course the image quality is pretty rough when
compared to 35mm film, but if you need a quick
cheap digital image...

Interesting idea.  Hope it works out!
