[Leica] Leica fantasy

[lrzeitlin at aol.com (lrzeitlin at aol.com)]

Now that Leica has proven that it is possible to make a full frame sensor 
for the M series cameras with their short lens to film distance, perhaps 
someone will design one of my blue sky fantasies. Remove the film loading 
door from M film cameras and replace it with an M9 sensor in a suitable 
module. The electronics can be placed in a baseplate module about the size 
of the old rapid winder. I can do without the LCD on the back. I don't get 
to see my color film prints for about a week so what is a few hour wait 
until I load the images into my computer. Or, using Wi Fi I could see the 
images on an iPhone. In this day of electronic magic I'm sure that the most 
costly parts of the M9 are the finely constructed viewfinder and RF 
components and the solid metal body. We photographers who cannot deduct new 
equipment from our taxes would be forever grateful. Tom Abramson are you 
listening?
