BD,
Actually it's a very interesting observation. I think the product is
considered in similar fashion and taste of a Leica. Therefore the
conversation just quietly flows along with the smoothness of a well working
Leica, M or R. :)

I mean it's sort of, you can't have one without the other. Well I guess
some folks can. :)  They use a different make of camera. ;)
