Quality and the "fingerprint" of a lens are often very personal choices,

you've not spent some time using a Leica you may not know, understand, or
appreciate the difference between it and an SLR. If you have, you may
prefer an SLR, or not care either way. I feel the same way as Meyers wrt
cameras with a lot of features. Note also that he has not given up on
digital, but has just stopped using it for a certain aspect of his
photography, for which he feels the Leica is better suited.
What I was trying to say is that I believe there is more than one way to
capture the image that you want than with a single technical solution.
Unless of course it requires something very specialized, such as
microphotography. He seems to imply that one can only capture the image
he wants with the equipment he is advocating. I disagree. You may be
comfortable with a certain solution because of the way you take
pictures, but I dont believe that under normal photographic
circumstances you cannot duplicate one setup with another.
