The problem with the LUG is the "Leica sharpness" obsession that dismisses the efforts of others who try to escape falling into the same trap. Take a picture of a broomstick with a Noctilux and everyone goes ga-ga. Oooh...look everyone, a broom. Or a statue, or a car. It's pathetic. Sincerely work to convey a visual message with a Leica using a pinhole, Russian LTM or god forbid, a Japanese lens and prepared to either be ignored or dismissed, while the conversation continues on "black or chrome ?" or some other equally idiotic thread. Shame on you all. For all people on the LUG who want to explore using the Leica in different ways, keep on posing. My opinion, possibly shared by a few others on the list. William
