OK< this must be what Geoff is referring - my reasoning must be so out
of whack to the lot of you, I don't quite understand. The assertion is
not simply that there is a difference, but the difference is obviously
so one sided that the Leica is much better.

At least Nathan owns both, but other people use supporting data from
micro 4/3 cameras etc. That's "seeing what you want to see," IMHO.


Oh BTW, I used to think that I get occasionally called as "Madame"
because of my ponytail, now that it's a tiny bobby thing,... I got
called Madame at LAX!!

I swear, I must look like an ugly Chinese woman....
