[Leica] Pre or Post???

[Peter Dzwig]

You make an interesting point, Jayanand. f64 was about ultimate detail, 
but also about faithfulness. I am very sure that he would have 
appreciated many of the tools we have today, but he would have seriously 
avoided some others.

I wonder what camera he would have chosen to replace his plate ones?
