Well, now you know. As I said, it is NOT a Leica Image Gallery.

I'm not arguing with the way Brian wants to run things..
But I think that it is overly obvious then when one goes the the
Hasselblad Users gallery one expects to see Hasselblad pictures.
Certainly if they are not marked elsewise you would be surprised to find
a Pentax shot in there!

And I think that it is overly obvious then when one goes to the
Rolleiflex Users gallery one expects to see Rolleiflex pictures.
Certainly if they are not marked elsewise you would be surprised to find
a Minolta shot in there! "Hey Harry what's that Minolta shot doing in
there!!?"

And I think that it is overly obvious then when one goes to the Canon
Users gallery one expects to see Canon pictures. Not some damn Nikon
picture. As I shoot with Nikons I'd not post them there. I'd post them
on the Nikon gallery. Isn't that wild!? Ever walk into the wrong bar?!!
:) (I was thinking hard hats) (who all knew each other) (and your hat
was soft)

Maybe a fella has a page of Canon pictures and at the bottom he says
"Hey here's one I took with my damn NIKON!!! Isn't that a hoot!!! Can't
tell 180x180 pixels can you!!!?  Might as well be a cardboard disposable
it would look the same on the average monitor! But if they was shooting
roll after roll of Nikon pix they just might consider just putting them
on the Nikon gallery instead. Before they got a photo mailer bomb in the
mail from some insulted Canon fanatic. Of which I'm sure there are many.
And the place to find them just might be on the Canon gallery. That's
where they'd cluster. If there was one.

Are there a lot of other non Leica pictures on the Leica gallery? Any at
all?
