not only i did not find it offensive, but i also share the same feeling. the
r8 feels much better than d1x in hand; the feeling of holding an r8 is
something very special. remember he could have promoted nikon. but nigel is
a leica man, (he was so before when he was at samy's). most importantly he
needs our support. in this tough economy, he is following his dream and
finally opened his own store which specialize on leica stuff. as far as i
know he is the only place in town that rents leica. so get off his case,
commend him for what he is done and support him.

I guess this says it all - get off his case and support him because he sells
Leicas.

I don't care what he sells. And I find it pretty astounding the number of
people who are missing the quite obvious point of my initial post - I don't
believe the LUG is a place for dealers - who may also be shooters - to offer
camera comparisons when they are touting what they are selling.

Can you say CONFLICT OF INTEREST, boys and girls?
