Douglas, What about those of us that have used and compared old and new equipment, and have come to the conclusion that the new stuff is indeed better, at least with respect to our own photography? Are we not entitled to that opinion, independant of whatever Erwin may or may not have to say on the subject? The categorical assertion that old Leica equipment is "better" than their new offerings seems no different than claiming that the new stuff is indisputably better than the old, and isn't that what you're objecting to with Erwin?
