Then don't use the Leica's, and shoot the Olympus camera if that does it for 
you.  It's probably why I still prefer my R8DMR over my new Nikon D4.  The 
D4 has it's plusses, but the R8DMR also creates great images and is more 
satisfying to use.

Tina,

I shot natural light work like that too, using Olympus OM system gear.
Three OM-4T bodies and a big collection of lenses. They worked
magnificently, were small and very light, and very reliable. I have two
Leica M6 bodies now, which I also love, but the Leica bodies are BIGGER
than the OM-4T, although the RF lenses are smaller than equivilent SLR
lenses.
