Perhaps I am wrong, but my reading between the >>lines of Mr. Puts letter suggests that the only proper use of a Leica is >>'street photography'. That was certainly not what I was supporting in my reply to Erwin's post. The subject or the setting of the work is not what makes it worthy of the equipment. It's the way in which it is treated.
