I have yet to see one single professional design/graphics house that uses
LEICA *over* Canon/Nikon. Can you name one? One newspaper? One
magazine? I can name hundreds that use Canon/Nikon from tiny Weeklies
 to the New York Times and all the major magazines and photo agencies.
If LEICA was really that good, I'm willing to wager it would be more accepted.

Eric? you see the fallacy in your argument? Yes? Good.
