[Leica] Doomed: Leica MP 0.58x

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

You won't. Photography is changing, just as it changed when people gave
up their larger format cameras for 35 mm. Change requires adaptation,
and can be painful. But it will occur. You could be lucky and get a
full-35 frame size sensor, but I wouldn't't hold my breath.

Yes, but how will I get that razor thin level of depth of field without 
a full frame sensor?
I really don;t want my 50 to have the DOF of a 35. ;-)
