For you and no doubt many others, the answer is that there is no reason whatever. For others, it is the question itself that makes no sense. It really is a matter of personal preference, not subject to legitimate debate. By the way, does everyone reading this agree to a universally accepted definition of "serious photography"? Try settling that issue first. How about asking who needs to use any form of rangefinder equipment, now that it has been supplanted by technologically superior infallible autofocus computers disguised as camera bodies? Next time you're bored, try that one. As for me, I think I'll go out and play with my toys awhile. It's much more fun. Joe Sobel
