The arguments of which system is better will go on ad infinitum. Because there is no real scientific methodology to finally ascertain which system is best. All of the criteria that has been discussed so far has been based strictly on personal opinion. And personally I am tired of hearing about why some brand of SLR is better that the Leica R system. If you are personally satisfied with the equipment that you own, I could not be happier for you. But, this is the Leica Users group, I subscribe to this group because I want to read about Leica's and there users. I do not belong to the N*kon, C*non, O*ympus groups because I am not interested in reading about those cameras. I happen to use R and M Leicas exclusively, right now I own a R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7. I use all of them and I love them, in fact I happen to use the R cameras even more that I use the M system. Because there is something about looking through a Leica lens. So if you ever happen to be in Philly and see a big black guy with 3, 4, 5, or 6 Leicas hanging around his neck come up and introduce yourself, I will hold a conversation on anything but politics, religion, sex, and is Leica really better. In conclusion what I would like to see is that we try to keep to Leica's M and R and related topics. PS I would be interested in a PHlug. I am near the art museum. One Lugger's Opinion John Buford
