Well I'm glad to know I'm illogical.  I ought to show this post to my 
wife who accuses me of being far too rational and logical (engineer by 
training and profession).  Based on what she (an artist by training) 
sees in my photos made with a few different brands of equipment, she 
insists that I use the Leica-R stuff.

Jayanand I'm sure you have logical reasons for making such a statement 
but photography for me is not about spec sheets or feature comparison.  
For me photography is about what I feel about my subjects and how that 
emotion is reflected in my prints.  The hardware either helps me 
achieve that goal or it's gone.
