I was wondering when someone was going to point this out.
(Greetings from the OTHER end of the country, Ted)
Believe it or not, there are actually professional photographers who USE
Leica cameras...A LOT of them.
If you make your living with them then they are tools to be used and
most professionals own more then 2 and, in fact, own multiply camera formats
and systems....depending on their specialty.
Like Ted, I and most photojournalists will carry more then 2 cameras
at any given time.
Remember folks, they are just cameras (sacrilege, I know ;^) albeit,
very good ones. For some they are tools to make a living, for others they
are a recreation but in either case, unless they are used to take pictures...
...what's the point.
PS: I loved the discussion on high-end stereo and I'm told I missed a good
thread on malt scotch. I joined the list a little late I guess.)
