To my way of thinking, however, the NG is, with some major exceptions, a collection of beautiful postcards. But to each his own. As to the discussion you were trying to provoke, my point is that there's no question what rangefinder pros are overwhelmingly shooting with if they use 35 rangefinders. But if you plug in the names Nikon and Canon, you'll discover that the VAST majority of NG photos are shot with those two brands. Which doesn't in any way address the question of what is "the best" camera - just points out that, unfortunately, even at NG Leica is an afterthought these days. B. D.
