Re: [Leica] REAL photographers

[nbwatson@juno.com (N. B. Watson)]

That Erwin and Eric should find themselves thrust at one another's
throats is a bit ironic, I think.
Somewhere far from Erwin's test reports, awaited and received here like
the 10 commandments and which beg the conclusion that ignorance and/or
poverty are the only logical reasons for anyone not owning only the
latest Leica lenses;  and Eric's (and perhaps one or two others')
deification of the Leica Reflex System which clearly suggest the
incompetence of anyone who doesn't acknolwedge the clear superiority of
Leica glass over all others',  lies the world where photography is meant
to immortalise the photographer rather than his equipment, and where
people may enjoy their Leica regardless of its age, and not necessarily
to the exclusion of other marques or formats, without feeling shamed or
condescended.

Nigel
