LUGers,

The word is "inevitable"!  Isn't it? 

It is not sensor size, or even pixel mega-size.  It is how low angle 
rays are handled.  A
little progress here; a bit more progress there (from Leica and Kodak)  
Et voila!  A full
frame digii-M.

I do remember when $8000 would buy TWO brand new Porsches.  Yes, in 1955 the
Porsche 1600 Normal Speedsters were $3000 each!
