Perhaps to shoot film. Just because get a Canon DSLR does that mean you have to get a Canon SLR and a complete set of canon glass; a complete Canon system. You you just make an effort to minimize it and just use the Canon glass which Leica really doesn't have so much. Like a wide angle zoom. And for digital photography not film. Or various combinations of the above. Another thing is I'd love to hear someone talk about how their 13x19s looks so much better than taken with their Leica 100 then with their Canon 100 or close short telephoto prime. Comparing the results receivable from a Canon wide angle zoom against a Leica macro 100 does not get my attention. Used Leica R glass is going for a song. It's a reason to get into Leica R. Other than the use of the phenomenal Leica R8/9 bodies which I also drool over. The R9 in anthracite or whatever it is in particular. I like the earlier smaller bodies too. And I like/love the Leicaflexs. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
