[Leica] Leica Forum

[imagist3 at mac.com (George Lottermoser)]

Just for clarity:
Personally, I don't consider an inherent superiority
in each and every piece Leica gear.
(hated my 2 R3's,
and I've had LR&M lenses
which were simply average
when compared to other brands
in same focal length and aperture)

I've previously owned and used extensively:
3 different Mamiya systems
5 Nikon bodies with many N lenses
'blad xPan

Still own:
Canon 5D system
a Hasselblad CM V System
a Cambo and 3 Linhof 4x5's with assorted glass
a Deardorf 8x10 with assorted glass

Leica R8 and M simply "feel" best in MY hands.

Obviously the PHOTOGRAPH is the most important thing
irrespective of the equipment used to achieve the image.
AND
how the individual tool feels in the hands and at the eye.

George Lottermoser
