Ah, Eric, but there are differences that I personally found very nice when I switched to Leica. Like TTL flash metering for any strobe dedicated or not including multiple studio type units - Canon and Nikon can't do this. Rear curtain sync at the flip of a switch for ANY flash plugged into the sync terminal. I don't think Nikon and Canon do this either. Mirror prefire, the most logical and easy to use I have ever encountered. As far as the light metering goes, well you all know my stance on that particular issue.
