[Leica] I Need A Quick and Simple Image Viewer for Mac

[Philippe]

LR is cheap for what it does Bob.

And works fast if your PC/Mac is fast …

I can't see myself without its powerful and efficient database, its editing capabilities, and export or printing features …

The only downside is the treatment of fuji files, but I guess you wouldn't be affected by that.
