Out of the picture?
Why not use a Pentax?
Why not use a Minolta or a Nikon?

All take just terrific pictures but as this the Leica Users group the
assumption is that we might give Leica optics and camera systems a shot first.
And Hasselblad is not a real obvious choice either to put it mildly even
though Victor was an avid bird Photographer.
The 500mm lens is a real Bazooka and i hear it's not even made anymore.

Welcome to the Leica Users group Leo! This is where Leica cameras and
lenses get the benefit of the doubt!
Go hawk your Canon's on the Canon list!
