Feli,
I know what you mean, I like the craft and enjoy using both M and R 
Leicas, but for actual photography I find digital better and I 
currently do not have enough spare timer to indulge myself with my 
Leicas at present! I do enjoy using my Mamiya 7, and that is the film 
camera I use most now but I think the last time I used it was probably 
in February.
cheers
Frank
