Among all the so-called polls here, most of them highly flawed, there has not been one in which was asked, "What Leicas(s) to you use now and are you happy enough with the models to ignore the advances in Leica's current effort?"

 

So I ask:

 

Are you a Leica film user? [yes,no]

 

Are you a Leica user that uses film and digital? [yes,no,depends]

 

Are you a Leica film user who would like to try digital Leicas? [yes,no]

 

If you are a film user who wants to try digital what keeps you from doing it? [expense,insecurity - obsolescence of digital paradigm or something else?}

 

Are you a Leica user who has never used film [yes,no]

 

Age and gender.

Are you a Leica film user? ---> Yes

 

Are you a Leica user that uses film and digital? ---> No, only film: M6TTL and M7.

 

Are you a Leica film user who would like to try digital Leicas? ---> Not a major priority.

 

If you are a film user who wants to try digital what keeps you from doing it? ---> Expense; determination to be satisfied with what I have; aversion to new equipment; feeling of tedium and depression whenever I read about new digital 'offerings'; conviction that new digital equipment has little to do with creating lasting, memorable photographs.

 

Are you a Leica user who has never used film ---> No, a Leica user who has only ever used film.

 

Age and gender. ---> 57, male.

Use digital for snaps now and then with phone, p&s.

Prefer the look/feel of film. Still love the smell of chemicals and the magic of image coming up.
