I made these observations after looking at prints which I have purchased from all of you and own and not off the top of my head. That is a tremendous feather in Leica's cap - but it also means that the others have caught up. <<< This is not the comparison I had in mind and there are a lot of variables in printing skills involved too. None of the prints of mine that you've seen represent the DMR and 280 APO at their best; the jackrabbit and ferruginous hawk come pretty close. In my field conditions, working the way I do, with my subjects, some equipment will enable the photos I want to make, some will not. I've used, tested and compared numerous brands and models and have found what works for me. That's not a brand fetish.
