There are a lot of alternatives between holy M6 and cheap plastic cameras! I don't think this kind of caricature is a way of keeping alive the Leica legend. On the contrary, very few photographers belive in such nonsense! We must not forget that Leica users are an exceedingly small group. I would never pretend that the overwhelming majority of photographers using "vunderplastick" are "spoiling all the fun of taking photos". I would rather think they might have more fun than all the snobbish M6 owners put together. I think it is wise to be humble in most circumstances, especially when having the privilege of using a Leica camera. Oddmund - --- Oddmund <garvik@interliger.fr> // St-Jean-de-Luz, France
