Sorry - can't help it. What's your excuse?:) Alternatively, what's your
problem with free discussion of this innocuous subject?
<< The dealers of the era said that it
didn't SELL, as Leica acknowledged.>>
You have made that observation repeatedly, and it has yet to prove
relevant.
<< And the dealers of the era said that
it didn't sell as it was a finicky piece unpredictable in use which
frustated far more users than it satisfied. >>
Because the dealers never took the trouble to learn to use it properly
themselves, let alone demonstrate it correctly to the customers. Who among
us believes that dealers, or factories for that matter, rather than
photographers are the legitimate arbiters of what photographers should be
permitted to buy or use? Do you?
Or, in the alternative, do you believe that you have any legitimate right
to dictate anyone else's choice of equipment, film, subject or technique?
If you do, I can tell you here and now that this is one asshole that's gonna
get in your face and stay there.:):):)
