However many photographers using Canon and Nikon have an M camera of some kind tucked into a bag for use on some assignmnts when "quiet and unobtrusive is mandatory to the success of the shoot." And if that were used as a criteria of "using Leica" the percentage would be quite high. But I realize what you mean when. "How many press photographers use Leica?" as that means in the total sense. I know we are in the minority for sure for daily newspapers. But those of use who shoot more feature type work and not the daily bump and grind grip and grin stuff are higher in number. ted
