Re: M8 comments :-) - picking lenses

 A full-frame digital SLR eliminates the film-scanning step.

But the Elan 7E also works great with Leica R lenses, gives you eye-controlled focus with AF lenses, and cost less than 5% of the 5D's price. And the Elan 7E also is 'full-frame' - 35mm film. ;)

Initial results with the 24mm f/3.5L TS-E for perspective correction and Elan 7E / 100UC film look very good.

That little film SLR cost all of $133 used from KEH. It was that or a Canon EOS 5D. With the $2700 I saved, I can buy a lot of film to shoot full-frame wide. 

The 5D is full frame.  Works great with Leica R lenses, too ;-)
