<i>...this is the future of rangefinder style photography we are talkin' about man, </i>

<p>

No it's not, this the future of Leica...fish tanks, glow, Luigi bags got...this has nothing to do about photography.

<i> it really fights the whole image of the company. leica should continue to do what it is good at or die trying.</i>

<p>

Like a dying dog on the highway...

What's the big deal? It's just a box with film in it....if nothing else works then youre done, go bowling or white river rafting. Take some culinary arts classes....move on. If you want to take pics you still got your box or get another. WTF??

Tom, thanks got out a little too late...

Stuart, the photog is the most important element and not the cam, period.

 

Mental block? That's funny, I don't feel bound by the cam at all as you do with your M's. If the M takes better pics than others, then you should have no problem going through my pics and identifying the pics taken with an M and those taken with a handy me down AE-1 that can be had on the 'bay' for 25 bucks. It would be interesting to see what you come up with.

 

Design awards are given to 'designs' and not the tools designers use such as t-squares and cad programs.

<i>if you're gonna go that route,... your final images are nothing more than pieces of paper or pixel brightness values.</I>

<p>

Pure unadulterated BS...the cam is the means whereas the pic or print is the final result.

<i>People who dismiss their tools are just plain selfish.</i>

<p>

Love, hate relationships????

<p>

Selfish for realizing a metal box with film in it is nothing more than a metal box with film in it.....keep on strokin'.

T, means the Chinese only like rangefinder type stuff.

<i>I know I love my camera. </i>

<p>

I use mine like a sailor uses a cheap whore.

Tools are tools...beats takin' sh*t apart with your bare hands.

They let you out or you escape? How was the food?

George, thanks for the heads up, looks interesting.

Suck it up and deal with it....what do you think the NG guys do? "Ooooh, my digits are cold pass me my holga"?....pain is life affirming.

Brad, thank ya...
