What is it, if it's a Leica conflict it's irrelevant, but if it's a conflict connnected to another manufacturer it's important? Come on, Doug, you're better than that. :-) B.

I think for the sake of newbies and us old codgers you ought ter mention somthin about Olympus giving you the goods each time you extol their virtues. And BTW I never questioned whether Erwin was on Leica's payroll 'cuz I don't give a hoot whether he is or not. He's a good technician and in his private newsletters (now discontinued) he also praised good products of other brands. So what? Does that mean I have to go out and buy what Erwin says?
