Color character. (Print's don't really qualify here). But there's a
three-dimensionality that makes Leica pictures stand out. It's hard to
define, and harder to describe. That's why we make pictures and not write
novels, I suppose. 

Some people say it's like shooting through a hazy glass, and finally
cleaning it. :-)

Prove you wrong? Nope, you gotta do that yourself.
