Jim's very words to me: "Eric, don't give up Leica. Their lenses have a 
brilliance no other lenses do." But alas, he had to compromise. And then he 
showed his pictures on a 30 foot screen to a group of the best 
photojournalists and editors in the business and the reaction was universal 
awe. You should see his images (Nikon and Leica) on a screen to really 
appreciate what a great photographer he is.

And a niggling point, I know, but he never "made the switch" to Nikon. He's 
always been a Nikon user.
