Please describe in detail the differences in the images. No, wait,
that would be
sort of like Leica Snobbery, a thing which I'm sure we've all heard
enough of in
our lifetimes.
If Art Wolfe can take great images without one of those lenses, that's good
enough for me.

Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company:
It depends entirely on your style of photography. If I were a sports
or wildlife photographer, I would not even consider a rangefinder,
much less a Leica. For documentary, photojournalism, street
photography, and some portraits and landscapes, a Leica with Leica
lenses cannot be beat. You just have to try it to see. I'm not a
Leica snob but I have used Leica cameras and lenses for over 30 years
for my kind of photography and they have served me well. I switched
to Canon when I had to use digital for my business and Leica didn't
have a digital camera yet. I was never happier than when I could put
those Canons on the shelf and pick up a Leica M8.
