Yes and to make a small point:
Every time you shot with your G2 a small part of your soul rots away.
Until you left with a steaming hunk of steaming....DNA confusion.
Leica M photography however is an uplifting experience in every way!
Leica photographers are known to all of a sudden blink off into a gleaming all
knowing state of bliss!*
But i don't wish to put too fine of a point on it!
