There was nothing special about the film. It always has been the glass. Only difference is that now you pay thousands of dollars for the film.... And you are stuck with it for the life of the camera. So, better get what you think is the best for what you are doing since you cannot change it cheaply. Only thing special about their sensors is the lack of AA filters that perhaps puts them above the same sensor in a different camera.

While I like the M camera body, it is the Leica lenses that stand out.It's their designs, their standards, that make a difference. Leica buys the sensors for its cameras from other companies.Leica's expertise is glass, not sensors. I don't feel their sensors are anything special. Cheers--Doug
