Leica Digital Modul R Digital SLR Review

Shutterbug have published their review of a production Leica DIGITAL-MODUL-R that converts a standard film Leica SLR into a Digital SLR:

"The Leica DIGITAL-MODUL-R is a brilliantly engineered and constructed product that, given its goals, could hardly have been accomplished better. Think about it: Here is the holy grail of imaging: an accessory that converts a 35mm film-based SLR into a digital SLR. Ya gotta wonder why the Japanese manufacturers never tried it. Simple—it involves lots of compromises, not something that the boys from Solms are used to but if you are a fan of the incomparable Leica optics, it’s the only game in town."
