Thanks Kyle, I appreciate it. I use M cameras for the viewfinder, the window on the world. I find the SLR finder "what you see is not what you get" to be confusing and frustrating. In fast shooting it is easy to miss things that are rendered as out of focus by the SLR finder but not by the camera. I do appreciate good photography and feel that the riff-raff mostly does better than I do. We need more riff-raff, using rangefinders of course, silly enough to figure that the image is what is important.

Keeps the riff-raff out of the neighborhood, doncha know?
