Yet to pick a rod for coracle fishing. Used Mack The Knife's Berkeley during the last trip.

And he came very close to breaking it and thereby talking in a falsetto for the rest of his life. :evil:

Now that the thread has already gone a bit off, I'd suggest TwoRivers, look into getting a digital back for your Leica. That way, you can burn pics directly digital.

Is that sort of thing really possible?

Would it be possible to find these digital backs for an old Minolta 700?

I used to be a frequent lurker on photo.net and had read of someone that had digital backs. I don't know if they're available for all models. Google is your friend. ;)

And waste time snapping pictures while the fish are biting? Eh? Thanks for the heads-up. Will check that out, though it will probably cost more then a new digital camera, and be even bulkier. Cheers.
