The obsession is with Leica and only tangentially with photography. Witness
all the great photography done with non-Leica cameras.  Lets face it guys, we
are anal about our Leicas. It is ok for us to disparage their faults, but let
anyone mention N---- or C---- or P-----, etc. and we will all gang up on them
an rip them to shreds. We have to to justify spending all that money on our
cultist passion somehow.
