It could have been.  But I was replying to Peter who implied that a 
Leica was not the kind of camera that photojournalists needed because 
the lens quality would be wasted on their photos and to Seth who said 
that only a handful of photojournalists used Leicas (on rereading his 
post he did say when they first came out).  When I think of the 
history photojournalism, Leicas play an important role.  And I still 
say if I were concerned only with superior lens quality, I would not 
be using 35 mm.
