[Leica] AA, HCB & Leicas

["B. D. Colen" <bdcolen@earthlink.net>]

Not wanting to fan the flames..:-)

However, it seems to be there's a sort of a disconnect between being
primarily an Ansel Adams fan and being a Leica user. This is not to
imply anything at all negative about Adams, his skills, or the taste of
those who admire him. It's only to think that one who was drawn to the
particular virtues of the Leica, particularly the rangefinders, would be
more inclined to be drawn to the work of the likes of HCB, work
depending for its success upon small, quiet, quickly manipulated
equipment. ..

But what the hey...taste is taste and there's no accounting for it or
arguing with it, for that matter....
