While, not a pro, I do submit photos to a local fruit industry magazine, and when I started I was told I could submit my 35mm slides, but they have never used 35mm before, only MF stuff. So, I did, and I got two covers that year. She asked what equipment I was using, and I said Leica. So, there must be something to this Leica stuff after all..... Of course, times have changed and now they want digital.
