I work with computers since 1970. I enjoy it but it doesn't give me that pleasure/satisfaction that you are asking for. My Leica continues to give me the same pleasure that my first automobile did. It is just something that I can't and don't need to explain. Yesterday I assisted my wife at a wedding and I was shooting 10 rolls with M6/Noctilux/Tmax400 combination. I'm sure you understand: That combination 'demands' that I give my best. I never took drugs but I guess that's how it feels. After the wedding we went to a small restaurant and enjoyed the calm after the storm. My wife thanked me for helping her. Right! Here is my pleasure/satisfaction list: Wife (still crazy after 30 years ...), our 3 boys, Leica, Computer, ... What a confession ....

Here's a hypothetical question for all members of the LUG: Which item provides you with the most pleasure/satisfaction; your computer or your Leica camera(s)? It's only fair that I answer my own question first. Computer first, cameras second. quem
