[Leica] Canon doesn't see it quite like Mark

The "Small shift" must still be gaining ground, otherwise, how could
there be one (1) billion roving worldwide photojournalists?
(according to "Sprint")  ;-)

>Yes Mark but you are -just- like Barnacks contemporary critics, never 
accepting that a smaller format could ever produce acceptable results.

Well Leica proved them wrong, not as good as MF, 5x4 and 10x8 obviously, but 
entirely useable for reasonably sized prints and much more convenient for 
use hand held, traveling, climbing etc..
Today few people argue that MF digital sensors don't produce better results 
(at least in bright light), but superb and totally acceptable results in 
prints much bigger than Barnack would ever have believed possible are being 
made in their billions by people using the smaller sensors nowadays.
Just like 35mm film displaced 120.
Get used to it, you are a dinosaur - just like all Barnack's critics back in 
the 1920s.
