Re: [Leica] Robert Capa, and Leicas (and really on topic for once.)

["Bryan Willman" <bryanwi@seanet.com>]

We talk lots about leica workmanship,
the quality of the lenses, the karma.

That's all nice, but that's not why
I paid a fortune to add a lecia kit
to my already large collection of gear.

They are small.  They are fast.
They do what they are told, quickly.
They are quiet.

The picture power per unit size and
weight is the big thing.
