Nothing wrong with a digital M. All the good points of a Leica, plus modern convenience. Plus I get to keep using all that lovely Leica glass.

Amazing, if you think about it, that a 50+ year-old mechanical camera design could be successfully adapted to the digital age. Can't say that about your Nikon F.

I'd be way more concerned if I saw this headline:"DAG and Sherry Krauter retire."

I'd be more concerned about film production. How long will we be able to buy 35mm film?
120 may be around for a bit longer but your options for 35mm are getting less and less.

Another question. How long before we have to send our exposed rolls off via snail mail to be processed?
Of course you can process at home but you also have to be able to buy the chemicals.

The demand for analogue Leica camera models is not high, it is stable, and we are still producing cameras on a daily basis as always.
