I have a friend who shoots a Nikon D somethingornother.  He always makes
remarks about my Leica M8 and my several Leica lenses.   Not disparaging at
all, just remarks like we hear here on the LUG by people who either can't or
won't afford that camera.

Funny thing is that I drive a 1999 Plymouth van, and he drives a 2006 Ford
pickup that cost more than $40,000.

Does he shoot better pictures than I do?  Yes and No.

You put your money where your heart is.
