Yes, of course... if I made similar, contrary statements, I would immediately have the whole dog team behind me, flaming me, burning my ass. You've got strange standards for "tolerance", gentlemen. And as for capitalism...go to South East Asia, go to Russia, go to Africa, go to Latin America, anywhere, and see how the world goes round, and for whom. Capitalism is full of inner antagonisms, and is bound to die. This is evident. You are photographers, so open your eyes! Leica produce the M & R, and they sell..., but less. Less people can afford them, even in the Land of Plenty. The world is changing. One day Leica will be a souvenir, people will still go on making pictures, some of them great. Wondering if sales goes up, or down is boring, and irrelevant for photography. Oddmund
