Perhaps not Bronica.:) A Hasselblad certainly gives me a special feeling when I use it. It has great ergonomics, optics and a rich negative at the end. But rangefinders certainly have a special way of use that suits some subjects perfectly. Leica happens to be the best made one left. More likely it's the Rangefinder Way. For other subjects it's the SLR way, and you look pretty stupid with a flock of birds passing over and a stubby little 90mm lens. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randy Jensen" <randy@jamzcheer.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 12:37 PM Subject: RE: [Leica] Last weekends Wedding - 100% Leica > To me, the "Leica Way" is the feeling I get when I shoot with mine.
