No comment on the second comment - ;-) . But as to the first - it's
'when in doubt use the hammer you like to swing.'

Or to put it another way, 'If Leica rings your chimes, shoot leica. If
it's a K1000 that turns you on, that's the best camera made - for you.'

Kind of like "when in doubt, use a bigger hammer", BD?

...which is what my darling sweet wife would be if she heard what Mike
