Which I'm sure he says just to piss me off personally. :) Not a paid Leica operative. No ones opinion is unbiased. As far as I go Erwin is an honest man. And an incredible source for Leica and photographic information which we should respect and take advances of. Not that we have to believe every darn thing he says. Does the Nikon or Canon List or users have an "Erwin." I bet not. The Rollei list has Richard Knoppow who has forgotten more about photography than I'll ever know. Henning is an expert on wide angle lenses as well as other things. We ahve other experts. I used to say as a fashion photographer surround yourself with a team of people with more taste and experience than you have. Then listen to them MOST of the time.
