Must be kind of an unusual design for a digital camera, to have film guide rails and a takeup roller across the back...

yeah, that looks like a shot of someone testing the electronics on a normal film Leica.

That might be a photo of Huw Finney working on his own "custom" digital M, which I believe he was crafting from an M2. His project was being tracked over at pnet for awhile. I could be wrong about the photo, though.

Joe, I was just about to post the same, I think it's Huw's digital M.

What is a "chappy" anyway?

Some kind of friend or something?

My first thought was that it was Huw Finney's M2 as well. It doesn't really seem like a pro lab setup Leica would use to me, but what do I know about electronics. :)
