Exactly... Strictly speaking, there are few cameras that you *cannot* take
any imaginable type of picture that you'd like. In my previous post, I was
trying to highlight the customer's attitude (ie, he was the "Pro" and I was
a lowly clerk, even though he hadn't an iota of photo sense...), not the
equipment he was using. He probobly did buy it from our store, and I'm also
sure that the salesman sold him exactly what he wanted... I'm sure that he
wanted it for the wrong reasons, but I'm sure that no one on this list
bought their first Leica for the "wrong" reasons...:-)
