I use a Leica for my rangefinder, and a Canon EOS, and a manual Nikon for my SLRs. Today I was up a tree taking sho†s of emerging buds. The 100mm focal length with AF came in mighty handy for holding on to tree trunks while shooting with one hand. I'm not a big fan of Leica SLRs because IMHO they pale in comparison to the better Canons and Nikons in features, and at premium in price. I'm certain that two side-by-side chromes on a light table, one taken with my Canon 100mm macro, and one taken with your Leica 60mm macro cannot be distinguished from each other.
