I'm sure many have read the TOP post about "Leica as Teacher" (http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2009/05/a-leica-year.html). I really like the concept of this, but frankly I just don't think that I have the patience for film. I haven't dealt with a roll of film in probably 25 years, and part of the attraction of photography right now is the immediacy of the image.
I do however like the idea of a single camera/lens combo and shooting that for some period of time (there was a follow on post where he ammended his advice to include other similar options). I could just use my K20d and one of my primes, or the EP1 and 17mm, but I'm also intrigued by the DP2 and the sensor. While I appreciate ergos and a good design, it seems like the DP2 with grip could fit the bill and maybe serve as the "teacher." I like the form factor of my DLux4 and that is my "take everywhere camera" due to size.
Basically this is of course just rationalization to buy another toy but as wondering about comments from other users. With my K20d I find I usually have a 31/1.8 so the 40mm fov would be about right for the way I tend to see the world.
