Leicas are Leicas are Leicas. The R Leica cameras have some of the best lenses in the world. They do things the M cameras can't, Visoflex or not. They are complementary, and any claims of inferiority of one of the other smacks of something very anti-photographic. Like who gives a rip if a lens is made in Canada or Germany? Collectors. Do we rely on collectors to determine what is more usable? I don't think so, though some are certainly no doubt great users as well, it's their shooting ability to determine that, not their knowledges of obscure Leica trivia. ============= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO I disagree with unanimity.
