You people are unbelievable. Of course Doug can take world winning
pictures with a coke bottom lens :-)

The claims were that Leica lens is so much better, it makes your pictures 
+100%

Then I said, well, for most mortals, we don't NEED Leica lens, except
for few like Doug and Tina etc.

Now you guys are picking on that I used Doug as an example :-)

Look, lets leave Doug alone. He is great. Regardless.

My position still stands, most of us don't NEED Leica lens, but most
of us WANTS Leica lens. No apology needed.
