In fact after fifty years of taking pictures I did that! Why so late. Firstly because I thought, and I still think, that Leica was asking so much money for something that is irrelevant to me: a name, a brand, a external sign. Besides I was used, and again still I am, to matrix metering, AF and al these bells and whistles so usefull when you wish to concentrate on the subject. But finally my wife give me a M6 as a Xmas present and after that my Leica material increased a lot as I found that quality, besides name and fame, was really present. Pictures with M lenses are, technically speaking, the best I've got in my life. But with my Canon EOS 1V, among others, I have lenses from 14mm to 800 mm and this is really usefull and comfortable. By the way optically the output is perhaps not so good but not really much worse specially with L lenses. Kind regards Felix PS These bells and whistles so worthless as AE became miraculously great when Leica adopts them! - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
