[Leica] What the "other guys" are saying about Leicas

[thibault collin <tc-lnc@u-picardie.fr>]

You're right Hans,

and this debate about brands is not totally off topic. 
For instence, I just bought from leica a beautifull binocular (around 8000
bucks; in other days, they were build by Wild...). To make photographs with
it, the leica company "gave" me a...Pentax K1000 body. They're telling that
leica bodies are too expensives and not worth for that kind of
photos...Moreover, I've used many cameras (Nikons, Canons the F1s) on leitz
microscopes or leica bodies on any microscopes (Zeiss, Olympus...) and there
was no trouble. I've also seen that people were using the visoflex lenses on
T90 bodies which is a good idea to give a new life to these lenses. I've
also used the "reprovit" lenses with any kind of bellows and bodies with
great results. What is important is the photographs you get! And of course,
leica lenses can help!
