Well, I didn't say use, I said shot, like Tina shoots Leica, or I was a Leica shooter, going from M3, M4-2, M6,CL, R3,R8, M6, M7,  M8, M9.  

That's what I meant about brand support.  I would be shooting an M, if the live view solution was better than it is.

After college, my work went mostly to TV film and 35mm, so I really didn't do any medium format over the years.
