dante asked of me:

it's neither postive nor negative, it's how the LUG tends to describe
cameras with electronics. the m7, for example, is nicely wizbang. the m6 is
slightly wizbang, the m5 is also slightly wizbang. the m4 is not wizbang at
all. the iii's are so anti wizbang they will cause your light meter to curl.
the leica 0 will cause the wizbang meter to shrivel up and die. if you're a
programmer, i can tell you that an oatmeal box with a hole poked in one end
is wizbang0.

me, myself, i love wizbang. but i love my leica too.

what a conundrum!

keep pushing that shutter, it'll come unstuck,
