Leica is due to introduce a digital version of the M able to take its M-bayonet lenses later this year. I have also heard the rumor that they will introduce Leica-branded version of the Panasonic DMC-L1 SLR with 4/3 system lens mount. Life moves on. You either stick with what you have because you like it, or you move with the way things go. I do a little of both. I bought the Pentax DS, enjoyed a bevy of older lenses, but then upgraded one at a time to the latest series and sold off the older ones. You get the most out of a modern body with the latest lenses.
