I'd taken my CLE (small and auto-exposure) with a couple of the M-Rokkor lenses, my wife had taken her Leica Minizoom. She remarked about the lacklustre appearance of the bulk of the pictures, saying they never quite capture the same feeling as on location. Then her single roll off the Leica is produced and instantly she can see a difference! Me, I'm struggling too, but to her it's obvious! She has this amazing ability with listening to hi-fi too, I think I'm the expert, but to her, she spots/hears things that I can't, bless her! It gives my Leica infatuation credence if nothing else!!
