Bob - You're wasting your breath: you're arguing with someone who purports
to believe that when given a group of photographs to look at, it is possible
to pick out the photographs taken with an all-mechanical, hand-assembled
camera, as compared to an electronic camera.

Does anyone believe they should have stopped the SLR design with the
Leicaflex SL2? How come it's OK for the SLR line to try to keep up with the
times but not the rangefinder line?
