I'm not sure I understand the beef here. From what I've seen of Tom's kit,
and I've met him and his wife only once, the guy is nuts about Leica
cameras. Now a lot of people, me included, are not so enamoured with leica
the 'company'. All I see Tom doing is saying 'isn't it great that a company
is doing these wacky things - great lenses, that work on our leicas.' Tom
also raves about the .56 M and any other good product that comes out.
Supporting other products rathe rthan blindly following the Solms line is
surely a good thing.

Julian (genuinely bemused).
