This is not the Leica Fanatics Group, it's the Leica Users Group. I want it 
to be about photography by people who have in common their appreciation for 
Leica cameras. But when a Leica is the wrong camera to use, I don't use one.

I am reminded of the wonderfully ambiguous comment made about the musical 
group Lynyrd Skynyrd: "If they ain't Skynyrd, they ain't shit". You could 
say the same thing about Leicas.
