Not just Leicas, either, and I have a Mac. Cameras are mechanical things with heart and soul and you can see and hear how some mechanical engineer solved problems and worked to make this or that better. The Leica is a supurb example of that, but the Speed Graphic, or the Rolleiflex or even the humble minox, all have their own tactile and sensual appeal. I have more than 300 cameras in my collection -- 7 leicas, a dozen or so rolleis, 4 speed graphics, about 25 stereo cameras (I am Northern Utah's preeminent, not to mention damn near only, stereo photographer -- and the attraction to them all is the same. cTrentelman Ogden, Utah
