At least, the equipment is NOT a "limiting factor", would you not agree... ? ;=) Andre Jean Quintal PS: I have sold a lot of audio and Contemporary furniture. Sometimes, some high end customers would BRAG to people around them how MUCH they paid for this or that, FAR above the amounts they actually had spent: THAT turned me off ! "Showing off" with a Leica CAN be so kool... As a sociologist, it AMUSES me ! NOT my "style" with anything, but one can hope such fools get BORED with theirs and it somedays will get in the hands of a more creative person, which such "tools" truly deserve. The FACT that a Leica IS a recognizable STATUS SYMBOL says a LOT about the product... it sure is NO negative ! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
