The following should be tattooed backwards on all our foreheads so that we
would be forced to read it every morning while standing at the sink. Thank
you, Henning!

People, these toys are for making pictures. Keep your eyes on the road. If
you need better lenses to make the pictures you want, use your Leicas. If
you need image stabilization, use Canons or the new Nikon lens, or a
Ken-Lab if you care to lug it. If you want to make larger prints, consider
the advantages of bigger pieces of film. If you crave religion, there are
places that cater to such sentiments as well.
Everything is a compromise, but don't make the mistake of saying your
hammer is the best tool bar none and start harvesting your wheat or
adjusting your Timex with it.
If you just want to make the kind of pictures that the present Leica-M
cameras are good at, fine. Perfectly understandable. But there is room in
the world for other types of pictures.
