I used to use Nikon SLRs, but have for the past 16 years switched to Leica
SLRs (Leicaflex SL and R4SP). I do still own a F3, but have not used it in
the past 5 years (only had it 6 years), although it is currently being used
by our exchange student, who I recently let use my Leica SLRs. She now
thinks she wants a Leica instead of the Nikon, she really likes the SL.
Leica SLRs got a bad rep with the early R4s, but my own experience is they
are every bit as good as the Nikons or Canons. I drag them along with me
on hiking and camping trips all the time and they have held up very well
with almost daily use. My R4SP just died a couple of weeks ago, but this
is the first failure in 15 years. The R lenses are excellent, both
optically and mechanically.

It is obvious when you make a statement such as that, that your head
is........well, where it shouldn't be.
You do realize that many times more professional photographers
use Nikon SLRs than Leica SLRs.
