Digital BW, The Print

One more variable I might mention for those talking about B&W film 
and rangefinder cameras. I have two M4's as well as a couple of 
Minolta CLE's. All fine cameras. I recently purchased a New 
Voightlander R2(made by Cosina). I find that the build is not up to 
Leica standards but what is. It is mechanical with a built in meter. 
I have the accessory trigger winder. The camera has a BRIGHT finder 
with a great rangefinder. I find I'm using it almost exclusively 
these days. With a body price of 470.00 and the ability to use my "M" 
and screw mount Leica Lenses as well as several of their own, quite 
nice, optics I think I'm happy. Epson/Cosina will be introducing a 
DIGITAL version of this camera as well although I really like film 
and appreciate the permanance of it. Electronics improve by quantum 
leaps but film is there already and is more perminant than the 
electronic image.
