If Erwin has some kind of relationship with Leica, that would make his testing reporsts without any credibility. You know what ? Leave it or take it. You think Erwin's reports helps, just read and discuss with him. Don't like it, don't pay attention to it. I think it is plain stupid to question someone's credibility just because he would have the relationship with Leica.

No!, Erwin! Chris, Knowing a bit about the relationship can lends credibility to the slant of the reviewers views. If someone is given all his equipment by, say, Canon, then wouldn't you like to know something about that person's relationship with the company...as it just so happens that ALL the reviews that person writes are glowing endorsements of Canon...wouldn't that give you a different "appreciation" for that reviewers views? AND there is NOTHING wrong with asking, it is a perfectly legitimate question to ask a reviewer. They can always simply refuse to answer, or can answer as they see fit...vaguely or with full disclosure, and any level in-between.
