Well, Since I apparently DIDN"T answer the question, and went into 
my babble instead, I'll do it now....why don't pros use Leica?

Never met a journalist/editorial photographer who didn't >IF< they 
could afford it....So that's my answer...those 35mm pros who shoot 
OTHER than sports (yuck), ALL use Leica M.......period.

If they can't afford it, they get 'sour grapes' and may even 
criticize Leica M....until they get one :) :)

NONE of them, however, use Leica M >ONLY<.....they may need 
lenses longer than 90, and a close-focusing 50 or 105.

Now don't get me ta lying about sports/wildlife photogs....don't 
know, don't care....I'd rather scoop ice cream for a living.
