ALWAYS look at your images for the reasons you state as I enjoy any images
that are thoughtfully created and portray everyday experiences with
uniqueness and passion. So I look at (and seldom comment) on almost every
one of your posts Sonny.
When I was young we used to go crabbing. The crabs at the bottom of the
basket would always be pulling the crabs at the top down. It didn't appear
that they did this to get out; just to pull the other ones down to their
level. So there's thems that shoot and thems that talk. And thems that shoot
and talk. Each seems to bring the conversation to their level of comfort.
So the crux of this long and ridiculous post is that everyone is going to
talk about what their most "expert" in and what they enjoy most (I guess
some like to bash Leica). You'll just keep posting what your expert in and
I'll keep enjoying that and other aspects of this diverse list.
So I'm not sure it's devolution; more like structured and somewhat
predictable diversity. Each adds to the richness of the list. For some
reason this thread hit your button, but you'll keep on enjoying your
equipment and showing your passion for photography/light (hopefully with
us). And I'll keep enjoying it very much.
Best,
Bob

I agree that it's the #1 area for improvement for Leica.
In B&W, I can get much finer grain than this out of Delta 3200 or TMZ
at comparable EIs.
Yeah well, I probably could have done the shot better with a faster lens,
and maybe with my M6 and Fuji 1600 Natura, but I was trying to see what I
could get out of the 21mm Elmarit, (new to me) That's the only reason I
posted the equipment, the shutter speed, iso and f stop. I'm pretty happy
with the outcome.
Why does the criticism here often drift from the quality of the shot, or
the accomplishment to a thrashing of Leica?
I often shoot pictures that include cats and I shoot pictures that feature
flowers. The funny thing is that some people avoid my pictures, and
others who shoot the same subjects, because they "don't like cats" or "don't
like flower pictures."
Hey folks, in my case, it aint about the cats and it certainly not about
the flowers.
It is about the picture, the lighting, and the composition, and seeing what
I can do with my equipment, my lack of mobility, and what is at hand to
photograph.
