I want to make it clear that I agree 100% that the gear doesn?t matter, but 
it does matter if you put the name LEICA on the front of the book. If I buy 
a Rolls Royce and it has cheap plastic seats instead of leather it is not 
good enough for the seller to say ?but it says Rolls Royce on the bonnet!?

Sorry, but that is the way I feel.
