By that I mean prints or jpeg objects. And he avoids the issue as to if he's ever touched nor used an M before. It sounds like a rational to me as to why he needed to not shimmy up the cash for an M. I do think such theoretical imaginings otherwise known as BS is going to happen much less now that we are moving on from the M9 to the age of the M 240. A camera which unlike the M9 is likely to be embraced by a wide range of highly visible photogs doing highly visible work. And this body of images will speak for themselves I belive they will show an edge in several areas that work with DSLR'S (other than the S) will not have. People will be made directly aware of the advantages of going Leica. It won't be a matter of conjecture and theory thrown at us.
