Sometimes the Leica is the most appropriate tool, sometimes it ain't and sometimes it don't matter. Most often I find that the Leica (in my case the SL) lets me concentrate more on what I see and less on the mechanics of operating the tool. The design of the Leica makes this possible, and so I also see the Leica as a work of artistic genius even as I work the @#$& out of 'em. Doug Herr Sacramento
