Leica has always been identified with the profession of photojournalism, which I have been a part of for the past 11 years and I take offense at the implication of this comment. It is (obviously) my opinion the most honorable profession that picks up a camera, and doctors ought to be honored to feel such an association. How about "You can make pictures with the camera that helped stop the senseless killings of thousands in a bad war?" Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA http://www.neteze.com/ewelch My Karma ran over my Dogma..
