Obviously 99 percent of it is f8 and BEING THERE and having an eye and vision and all that Artsy fartsy stuff. But take two versions of a famous great image; one a clearer version of the other and I'll take the clearer image any day. Other than the spontaneity issues Tina refers to here, Leica makes for clearer i hate to say sharper pictures… and I'm always gonna love that. Can't see how that can be ignored.
