There are at least a dozen of us using a unique line of cameras, Leica made,
called the "R Series."

Each
has its strengths and weaknesses; digital is 'good enough' for some
purposes.
 For those who feel that settling for 'good enough' cheapens the craft,
remember that 35mm doesn't provide the image quality of 4x5 or medium format
but is
good enough for many purposes.  Good enough is just what it means: good
enough.  It's all we need. >>

I think the upshot of all this is that we've inherited a two-track mode of
photography. We need to be competent in both. Since this is essentially an M
list, I would assume that film is the rail we essentially run on.
