If I have a choice between the message with technical imperfections and the same message executed perfectly, I'll go with the technically perfect photo. It's the well-executed message I'm looking for. If the message alone was my objective, I'd be using a Zenit or Seagull SLR with an inexpensive mirror lens. Using a Leica(flex), there's at least a chance of combining the message with technical quality, depending on my technique. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
