Digital BW, The Print

Sadly, Tina, I sold all of mine (and the M6, and the IIIfs, and the 
Russian and Voigtlander screw mounts and adapters, and . . .) as well as 
the Nikon, Rollei and Minox film cameras, and applied the funds to Nikon 
digitals (APS sensors) and printers.  Remember that Leica said they 
couldn't make a digital M because of the flange to film distance and 
oblique angles, etc.  Who knew?

Oh well, even if I'd kept the lenses I wouldn't be able to afford the M9 
now that I've retired.  I have a friend with an M8 and envy you yours.  
Hope the M9 is everything it seems to be from preliminary reports.

Cheers,
Kip
