To me, especially if I'm painting, or sculpting, it's very tactile - the latter is obvious. But the same is also true for me if I'm using a Blad or TLR - my hands are separated from my eyes, yes both are coordinated - but it's different from a rangefinder and the hands ironically speak to me like that. (Ironically because Leica isn't Hasselblad!)

At least, the hands are doing something and there is a reason behind the photographs. The ones that are boring are the photographs of photographers holding cameras. Not photographs by the photographers. Not photographs of what the photographers see with their cameras. Just a photographer standing there holding a camera. That is pointless to me.
