Digital BW, The Print

I just, very sadly, sold my M6 and some lenses so that I could upgrade lenses for my Canon 40D.  While I might have been able to strike a better deal, I lost a considerable amount of money. My impression is that digital has sent Leica prices downhill.  I have held onto a number of older cameras with the hope that film cameras will go the way of mechanical watches at some point:)  Sorry for the OT post.

With the advent of digital, this Leica advantage would seem to be nearly impossible to retain.  Perhaps that is why they came up with the idea of upgrades.  For those not familiar with this, see http://www.dpreview.com/news/0802/080204leicam8upgrade.asp
