Subject: [Leica] noctilux vs. the cheap alternative

I've recently acquired a copy of Sam Abell's Stay This Moment. I can't think
of a book of "quiet" photos I've enjoyed more. Some remind me of Haas in
their elegant abstraction. He took them all with Leica gear -- M and R.
Since then he's apparently moved to Olympus, Canon, and perhaps elsewhere.
Does anyone know why? He's got such a wonderful eye for color and
composition, I would have thought he'd stay with Leica glass -- at least
with M, if not R.
