[Leica] S snapshots

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

I read the article

" but to my mind these folks aren't much different from film photographers 
who lugged around Hasselblad's because 35mm cameras
produced "inferior results." Either you appreciate the small camera 
aesthetic or you don't. I do."

I am not sure what that means, just the portable aspect? I shot Hasselblad 
for years (why I am a latecomer to Leica ;-)) rather the 35mm because the 
image quality was far higher, is that not important?

On the other aspect of buying more cameras systems, not really interested. 
Leica does all I need and I feel comfortable / enjoy using it compared to 
any other modern system I have tried (inc Fuji, Canon and D800E). I guess 
the difference may be being happy with a sharp shot which most cameras can 
create or something a bit different......
