Why Leica- Trying to explain the illogical

I remain AMAZED at the fact that Scott has completely taken over this discussion by insulting Leica users. This isn't a schoolyard: no one need answer Mr. Eaton. We have a topic.

Robin,

 

Leica made choises when they designed their products, there is no 'better' just a 'difference'. Your 'better' derives from personal preference which is similar to me liking the design. How about choosing rangefinders over slr's because of the mirror slap, 35mm over medium format because of the portability, film over digital because of batterie dependance, all subjective choises. And BTW if more people make the same choises, it doesnt become an objective choise.

 

Greetings,

Scott Eaton is no hero, he is just wanker! He is not photographer, he has few snapshots taken with lousy gear but nothing more... so why hero? Must be a joke!!

 

He should be banned from this forum!!!

I use Leica myself and love it, but to put things into perspective, all one has to do is go to the "Top Pictures" in the Gallery of Photo.net and you will notice very rarely these fine pictures are taken with Leicas. In fact, the majority are either Canon, Nikon or even digital. If I can take comparatively such good pictures with my Leica, I would agree and vouch that its my Leica, but the truth is in the "pictures"....and the person behind the camera.
