The only drawback I can see, Gerry, is the truly outrageous price for
the digital and build quality - with a D70 at, what, $900, and Digital
Rebel in that range, and the Olympus E-1 - which is built like a tank -
at under $1300 - $3K is very pricey for that body. But everyone seems to
think that it is fun....

I know this has probably been said a thousand times, but today I had 
chance to play with the Epson/Voigtlaender RD-1 and all I can say is 
that I am in love and want one as soon as possible. For me, it was so 
like an M6 that it was unbelievable and I know I could WORK with this 
camera. My Nikon D1X is a fantastic camera, and I have had great success

with it, but I cannot work on the streets like I did with the Leica - 
but the RD-1, now that would be a different story!
