[Leica] Another report on the SL

[Douglas Barry]

He may be the owner, but he's not a great photographer looking at the 
offerings which are prosaic to say the least. A reason to buy - or rent the 
SL? No, I think I'll wait and see what Tina can do with it over the next six 
months, as it looks promising - in her hands.

Not a great photographer either!!!
