It has the most direct and immediate meaning to those many who've made a
commitment to Leica M in the past. To those who already have some Leica M
glass they'd like to get going again. They know what rangefinder shooting is
all about and don't have to convince themselves that they like it.
Putting into the hands of a guy whose trying to figure out how to make for a
two not four eyed face is ridiculous.
I'd be looking for a photographer at least 60 years of age. But someone
younger could get it. The reviewing job.
