Hi Keith,
While Pete has a love affair with his Leica, it's no different than the
affair many photogs have with their equipment. Were he a Nikon shooter, or
a user of certain Pentax bodies or glass, your comment may never have come
up, regardless of the price he paid for the equipment.
Let me answer this part of Shel's post first, then I'll read it for
other items to comment on...
I have absolutely no problem with Pete's love affair with his Leica MP.
It's beautiful camera, regardless of how much it costs!
Heck, I can't afford a Porche Boxter, either! Life goes on...
I was serious when I said I'd love to have one myself!
I wish I still had that old Contax III RF I once had, but had to convert
it to money, back when I was very young and seriously impecunious! sighhh.
So much for that. I'll get back to reading the rest of your post in a few...
