However Tom, look at it this way. Some of us learned how to drive a car.... by using Mercedes and Porsche! Just got lucky that's all! And I didn't know anything about driving until I started the car and was told what to aim at! It's the same for those who are fortunate enough to have the income or saving hard coinage until they can buy the best, a Leica, to learn with. I beleive there are folks on the LUG who have posted the first camera they ever had was a Leica, given to them by their father or they purchased. And they have admitted they didn't know anything about photography other than the Leica was a great camera. Sorry Tom I think you jumped a little too hard and too quickly in condeming these folks trying to learn our hobby, photgraphy. ted
