Jim Stanfield, Sam Abell and William Albert Allard (all National Geographic photographers), Fred Maroon, Ernst Haas, Sebastiao Salgado, Ted Grant, :-) and numerous others all use Leica SLRs, because they are the epitome of SLR lensing. They have the Leica look, the glow, the ruggedness (the lenses and maybe the R8 too) and the quality backed by the same company that builds the M cameras. All these guys I'll stick with over anybody who claims otherwise. ============= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO My computer's sick. I think my modem is a carrier.
