BTW, it's odd for you to at all "hack" me, of all people, about brand loyalty. I have none, my loyalty is to good cameras, not camera brands...as I have Contax, Leica, Canon, Hasselblad, Rollei (both TLR and MF SLR), Plaubel...to start the list. No, I really have no brand loyalty, but I simply am able to acknowledge an exceptional camera. Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
