And having that be a thread of a PAW. Is there a shortage of general photography lists? I sure get in the "general photography" frame of mind sometimes and am up for anything. Sometimes it's large format. I'll go there. When I'm here I'm up for Leica talk. And show and tell. I'm surprised there's an argument. But I think it comes from the tidal wave of impact the digital thing has on our photography. Of which Leica is a subset. And the slight black hole Leica is in on it. A zone V hole. And as a digital camera with "Leica" on it may not represent the absolute best choice in the digital camera du jour we find it OK to talk about the smarter kinder digital camera we happen to be using.
