I have always thought that the best automotive analog of the Leica (M) is the Porsche 911: A basically simple design that is continually being rendered "obscelete" by newer, more sophisticated (less quirky) machines. Yet in the right hands the 911 like a Leica M it produces unmatched results. - -- Matthew A. Cenzer Department of History Northwestern University mailto:mcenzer@nwu.edu
