[LRflex] Re: Film vs Digital users poll

At present 90% digital,  and 5% split between Rollei 6x6 and Leica film 
cameras,but the ratio changes dramatically when I'm on holiday.The 
Rollei is too heavy to take along, and on long walks I always take an M6 
(a Bessa or sometimes a Minolta CLE) and a couple of lenses. All a 
matter of weight.
I usually take my R7 along for flash photography, with a Metz 
hammerhead, the only thing able to illuminate a whole shed full of steam 
trains (I haven't been able to see my way to spending around 500 euros 
on a decent E-TTL flash for the Canon 20D - yet).
So the ratio comes down to around 60/40 in favour of film (mostly Kodak 
Elite 50, 100 and 200).

Predominantly used cameras: Main and back-up
Canon 20D, Canon 300D
Leica R7, Leica R5 (sometimes, for AF-lenses, a Canon EOS 500N)
Leica M6, Bessa R
Leica IIIg ( 'cos I love it),
Bessa L (for superwides),
Rollei 6006 (very rarely)
