And that sentence is a far cry from what you have written below. :-) B.

Spare us the snobbery. I've gotten some great photographs from most of my equipment even my now dead Olympus Stylus not to mention my Olympus 35SP. And as hard as it may be to believe my Nikon F5 and D100 take some pretty impressive photographs.

I'm sure you do great with your Olympus Stylus...

So if one takes a "photograph" with a Nikon, a Canon, a Contax, a Rollei, or for that matter an Olympus Stylus, it is representative of "the Leica way?"
