I would, however, offer a guess of why Mike does enjoy intercourse about Leica. My guess is that the marque isn't the main reason he's here. I'd say that Leica folk, more than any other group of photographers, are loquacious, opinionated, stubborn, sensitive, gregarious and knowledgable. Hell, you gotta be all those things if you're going to sit around and obsess over the hardware that takes the picture as we do. The amazing thing is that we *do* take some great snaps, in spite of our singlemindedness over equipment. Where *some* users of other marques will pay similar attention to the tools of their craft, it is a *rare* Leica shooter who doesn't! The very nature of the equipment and its price dictate a fraternity of users of which I am tickled to be a part.
