There's much more to photography than demonstrations and sporting events. I know some people use Leica M in part because the alternatives are too big to carry while walking miles in the mountains and in part because of the outstanding results. Tina comes to mind. I'd not call her work Sunday Photography. For everyone we know of whose work we admire and who uses a Leica there are many others who are unknowns, whose work is equally not Sunday Photography. The camera doesn't have to be on public display to be put to good use. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
