Yeah, I've enjoyed the diversion. The way I view it, we all love our Leica
equipment and sharing that common experience allows us a base from which to
discuss other brands. The Leica is a reference point. These conversations
couldn't take place strictly outside of the list since I feel they refer
back to what we know to be excellent. I think the discussions of film,
enlargers, other cameras for other purposes, etc. are healthy. I'm sure
we'll settle back down into a Leica only mode eventually, and I don't think
the extracurricular topics discourage new threads on matters Leica.
