Leica Someone converted RF film camera to RF digital camera

I find this a very innovative accomplishment. This man took a RF camera, and he managed to create from it a RF digital camera. Could this mean that one day soon we will have digital Leica M3 cameras?

We "talked" about a Digital Leica M3, and it could be done. But- used prices of the M8 are at the $1500 mark, the M9- below $3500.

I saw the conversion, it is a real masterpiece. I had a mechanical engineer working for me that had a CNC and solid printer. I never caved into temptation to sideline him to camera parts. But it crossed my mind...

I agree with Brian that the cost (labor and material) will make such conversions expensive, when alternatives are available.
