Right on, Eric!
I felt exactly the same. Tell these people it's only
a camera!
Ah. Maybe the "guy" (I presume it) is out to make some
money by photographing the disaster. And when the ship
is sinking in salt water, the batteries and guts of the
electronic marvels would fail and hence he wouldn't get
the shot. So, we shoud view this person not as a Leica-zealot,
but rather someone out to make a quick buck off someone
else's problems.
I love my Leica but when there's no disaster, I also
shoot equally well with my M7 (Mamiya) or Roundshot 35s.
The results are spectacular - but I do need batteries!
