I have no intention of dissing the other cameras. (By the way, a friend in Thailand just got a note from is Nikon rep. friend that there's a new body to be introduced on Nov. 25 that is between the N90 and the F5 - now we return you to this regularly scheduled Leica message). They are great. But what I find with Leica, that I don't with other cameras (the M6 especially, with the 35 Summilux ASPH and 75 Summilux, but the R stuff as well) is the results of shooting in really bad light wide open. And then blow the picture up real big. Not every day average use. As for using Nikons, Canons Minoltas, Pentaxes (which are great by the way I'll agree) I can't understand people who own a whole brace of different brands, who then think us R users strange. I would have a heck of a time jumping between different camera lines all the time. I like simplicity of use, and Leica R and M together are the best going combination for me. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch .'Sounds like art,' the instructor says.
