It's too bad they can't work on being human beings and be respected for sensitive friendly qualities. First of all, Roland, I'm not a doctor, but I do play with one (my wife). This thread accelerated over an allegedly biased characterization of a nationality, a tactic you extend to at least one profession. I find it interesting that you insist on characterizing all members of the medical profession as overly regal and reluctant to "work on being human beings be respected for sensitive, friendly qualities.(sic)" Any observer who based her or his opinion of photographers on our most obvious sector, paparazzi, would conclude that all photographers were boorish ghouls. I know many (medical) doctors and find that they consistently represent the entire range of human qualities from saint to satanic, just as I find the same human distribution among most professions, including photographers. To veer dangerously close to being on-topic, my wife does not buy and use the Leica equipment in our household, I do. My wife does, however, volunteer to serve as my spouse-pod when I need a stable base in low light.
