Yes, all of us came to this list because we have an attachment to Leica, but the reason why other brands have intruded on both the discussion and the imagery posted is simply that Leica has not produced any significant innovations in the past few years, except the DMR--and there has been a fair amount of discussion of that. As for Leica images being of special interest because they are Leica images, how would you regard a photograph shot with a Canon body and a Leica lens?
