I use a Canon in addition to my Leica and I find the image quality of the Leica to be be better. My kids tell me my photography has fallen off when they see photos taken with the Canon, and pros react as well. One local highly regarded photographer asked me during a recent slide presentation what camera I was using. "Leica," I responded. The presentation proceded and he stopped me suddenly when I showed a photo taken inside a Grange hall with severe backlighting of the speaker. "What were you using here," he asked. It was the one photo in the entire presentation that wasn't taken with my M6. "This one was taken with a Canon 70-170 L 2.8 professional lens," I answered. "Didn't seem like the Leica," he said. "Your Leica would have handled the backlighting better." doug nygren
