Buzz QWhoZeiss is a long-standing friend of mine. He is a noted professional who shoots only Leica and Zeiss glass (well, he does use some Kilfitt/Zoomar gear, as well, as required) and has done quite well by it. I spoke with him yesterday but he did not mention his intention to post his, well, mischevious, note. His position, though, is that the photographic worth of a professional must be judged differently than the work of an amatuer such as myself. And the thought of professinal photographers judging each others' work is a bit stimulating! Imagine the fights -- think of the feeding frenzy as those who were once close friends tear the skin of the faces of each other ....
