[Leica] I am beautiful, but alone.....

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

 "possibly the best whites I've seen in a little under a fortnight here."

This is total hogwash do you think we're all idiots?
What are you making it all up as you go along?

The quality of whites?
Its baloney in a print and certainly baloney with mayo on white bread in a
scan being shown on somebody's monitor.

There is no "quality of whites".

Photography is not a bunch of guys on a list making up whatever sounds kind
of cool up as if there's some reality behind it and everybody going "gee wiz
he must know what he's talking about because I have no clue!?"
There are people on this list who have practiced photography very seriously
for decades and if you just make stuff up its not going to go through.
