Leica did not create quality photography. I'd suggest we end this exchange at this point because one of us is making a total ass of himself. :-) B.

By agreeing with your statement that: "WHAT? So if one takes a "photograph" with a Nikon, a Canon, a Contax, a Rollei, or for that matter an Olympus Stylus, it is representative of "the Leica way?" to which I replied: "of course..." You suggest that I am wrong? It certainly must be difficult for you to remember to get dressed in the morning before leaving the house, mustn't it? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of bdcolen Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 1:54 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] Last weekends Wedding - 100% Leica No, Fred, THIS is what you wrote: "The "Leica way" is simply the difference between a "photograph" and a "snapshot" - and, sadly, it seems that many folks are unable to "see" the difference." And that sentence is a far cry from what you have written below. :-) B.

Spare us the snobbery. I've gotten some great photographs from most of my equipment even my now dead Olympus Stylus not to mention my Olympus 35SP. And as hard as it may be to believe my Nikon F5 and D100 take some pretty impressive photographs.
