Hi All,
Originally my statement was that I'd go digital when a Leica M series 
equivalent came out. I still feel that way, even though I've also 
worked
with a Canon G5 for a few years - that was the closest (not very) I 
could find.

I am waiting: for a full sized chip, an excellent zoom lens from  about 
18 mm  to 200 mm, optical viewfinder showing beyond the actual image 
size,
with a weight and size somewhere around that of the Leica. (or a touch 
larger).   I think the technology is here for it right now. We all have 
to ask for it - how many requests would it take?

In the meantime, I still shoot anything  important on film - from 35m 
to 6X9 and scan it. Sold my 8X10 and 4X5 cameras a while ago.
