[Leica] Why Pros in general and us amateurs do NOT or SHOULD NOT use Leica......

[John McMaster]

I have no idea why people compare simple mechanical cameras which do not require batteries (I have M2, Nikon F2 (plain prism) and 500C/M) with digital cameras. I used Fuji X-T1 and the results, for me, were nowhere close to what I get with Leica.

Wow(?).   I used my (second-hand) M3 every day for 40 years, personally and
at work, and it is still going strong.  I'd still use it if I had a darkroom.

Loved my film Leicas, but I'm glad I saved a lot of money (and grief) by buying a Fuji body for all my diverse lenses.  No problems in three years.
