Well, for those who have fallen off the Leica wagon and used [shudder]
Canon glass, we have about 55 12-step sometime-non-Leica-glass users at
PAW@TOPICA.COM who will simply criticize it for the subject rather than
the subject AND camera. ;-)

'Cuz its a cliché?  The photos isn't all that bad or anything, and I am
sure family and friends will enjoy it, but honestly, hasn't the
rusty-truck-in-the-field shot already been done to death?  A bit of a
waste of an extinct emulsion IMO (a new expression... it isn't APX25
worthy! :-).

I do think Rabiner's comments were unusually and inappropriately harsh.
I never did understand exactly what the hell "Leica Photography" was
anyway. Leica makes rangefinders, SLRs, point & shoots, digitals,
squirrelly little no focus repros...  with the exception of medium and
large format, Leica photography is what ever you want it to be IMO.
Lighten up, Mark!
