Hi Phil,

If you can get a DSLR that takes lenses that you already own, and like to 
use, and you need or want a digital camera I'd say go for it. Might be worth 
renting one for a day or two first to see if it fits with your style of 
shooting and gives you a look in its results that you like. 

Btw, I believe that you'd only qualify as a List Troll if you constantly 
ranted and raved about some other camera brand(s) every time the subject of 
Leica is brought up on the Lug. Something I don't see you doing.

Regards,

Greg
