Presumably, you use the 60 mm "literally all the time" due to its field of
view? If so, that will change when using it with a less-than-full-frame
sensor. The same is true of using Leica lenses on digital bodies with
less-than-full-frame sensors, and I suspect that color artifacts when
using lenses wider than 28 mm might be yet another issue to resolve.

Hmm. That isn't my experience with digital. I use fill flash is to balance
the scene, and I don't see how that changes with different media.
