I don't quite understand why new 35mm bodies are being made at all. Two film makers (that I know of) have stopped making 35mm film and the sales of digital cameras keeps climbing -- and the prices keep coming down. Will good high res film continue to be available? If so I think I ought to get the Wild/Leica Microscope camera out of the cupboard -- where I put it when the *ist D arrived.
