George,
In that case the Leica set up is hardly worth it - my take is that the 
ease/quality of digital today means that there is no reason, if you so 
wish, to shoot colour film in the 35mm equivalent format. Black and 
white may be a reason to stick with film, as would medium/large format, 
panoramics (6x12,6x17), and other such niche exotica. I, personally, 
have made up my mind that I will probably never buy a 35mm film camera 
again.
Cheers
