Your use of the subjunctive tense in English has made my
day, as it were.

Subject: [Leica] The Leica Mystique


|Any pj worth his/her salt knows that Leica blows the
competition away when
|it comes to producing superior fotos.  I know of an editor
who insists on
|his pjs using only Leica equipment.  Why?  It's a given
that the mystique
|of Leicas conveys professionalism, and he realizes the
importance of
|perceived value.  Leicas produce far superior esthetic
results and capture
|better "decisive moments".  He also says that gold-plating
a Leica enhances
|the appearance of subjects by giving them a reverent "glow"
. . . improving
|somewhat on the mysterious "boken" of Leica lenses, if you
will.
