To this group I am the worst kind of person. I am a user. I do not let my stuff sit in a case, I put it in a camera bag and put that bag on my shoulder and take pictures. I own a lot of equipment, most of it Leica. I own and use a Cl, Cle, M4-2, M4-p, M3DS and a complete R system. I have gotten splendid results from all of these cameras. I use my stuff as much as I can. Damn I guess I do not gualify to be a Leica snob, just some guy who loves taking pictures.
