So, why do we use a Leica? I can only speak for myself. I'm not a professional photographer. I have a completely different way of make my living. However, as a *very bad* amateur, I can only say that I just love my M4. I love its feeling, I love the touch, I love its history and I love the way I can take pictures with it. Better than with other gear? Technically, I don't really now. But personally, oh boy, far far better. It's a world of difference. It's a funny experience: since I'm using it, my family and friends are harassing me with requests: portraits, weddings and so on. They clearly prefer the results with "the old camera that you just bought" :-). When I use it in the street, people are not agressed at all and the pics are really candid. Nice holidays to you all. BTW, on saturday I'm off to Boston, any shopping suggestions except for Park Square? I'm looking for a nice M3+135 (the virus is growing)... Best regards, Patxi Brussels
