Subject: [Leica] Ur Digilux Image

I've gone back and forth, Kyle, in assessment of your Digilux posts: 
sometimes I believe you genuinely like the camera; sometimes I think you're 
piling-on in making fun of the 'first and least among 'em'(digital, that 
is); other times I wonder if it's ironic dissing of The Great Name -- like 
flogging the Summitar. Maybe it's 'Look, Ma: no hands! (I can make good 
photographs even with this sow.) Or self-congratulatory for all of us: are 
not we Leica users unassailably right? Even our most dismissed camera still 
can produce superior images.

So, I will continue to be uncertain how to read you, I expect. But 
absolutely certain to enjoy each contribution. I hope you will keep them 
coming --- they're very good and great fun.

I hope others will be inspired to submit work done with older-to-ancient 
Leicas. Except in our Walter Mitty dreams, we're not all shooting M-9s or 
S2s.

It's easy to see why the Ur Digilux is the choice of professionals and 
serious camera collectors the world around. While many "weekend shooters" 
rely on crutches like multi-megapixels, zoom and interchangeable lenses, the 
Ur Digilux is for the camera purest who wants as little as possible between 
themselves, and art.
