I use neither. Pentax is what I use for SLR work. I use older bodies like the ME Super, MX, and the LX. Why? Because I like small cameras that are easy to use and carry. Some Pentax bodies are smaller and lighter than even the Leica M. Pentax glass is quite good, too, although, like with other camera brands, there are a few dogs amongst the jewels. Their multi-coated is excellent, especially the newer coatings, some of the lenses are much smaller, lighter, and more compact than the Nikon and Canon equivalents, as well as being sharper. Pentax and Leica make a great combination. - -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:belinkoff@earthlink.net "It matters little how much equipment we use; it matters much that we be masters of all we do use." - Sam Abell
