I find I am now shooting a roll every month or two, rather than shooting
up to 30 rolls in a day. 
BUT - Despite having sold one body and a couple lenses, I still have 2
M6s, three ASPH lenses and a Cosina lens, and I really don't want to
give them up. I don't know whether it's simply nostalgia, or whether I'm
really convinced I'll do some serious film work again, but these
cameras, these tools, are special to me. I don't give a rat's behind
what happens to the corporate entity, but I don't want to let go of my
Ms.

As to changing the name of the group...Why? As Kyle so eloquently put it
earlier, this is a community of people with both common and divergent
interests who have formed real friendships - and not a few enmities -
over the years. Whether or not people are still shooting with Leicas is
pretty much irrelevant, as long as people are shooting, and know what
Leicas are and what they stand for.

Just went through 20 rolls with 2 M6's. I at least shoot 3 or 4 rolls
per week, even with the digi work.

Why would I sell my Leica gear?
