And where he uses the "political scene" as an assignment background and how photographer's relate to shooting, he almost describes me during federal and provincial election campaigns since 1972! ;-) Certainly when referring to the Leica and SLR gear use. Only in my case they were always Leica SLR's and some model of M. When you have a "real user been there done it writing," a person whose articles about camera use, it's much different compared to the "person who does nothing but playtime" then writes how he finds the equipment and methods of use. One is the realities of use in the real world, Bill Pierce and the other some writer who's rarely shot anything but "playtime" images. What Bill says about each camera is why I've always worked the two camera models at the same time during this type of assignment. Or in the shooting for the medical books I've produced, you use them as tools as each captures a different moment. Quite frankly there isn't any one perfect camera for all things regardless of what some people think! ted
