"Like a harnessed team, I pushed them to haul the visionary load, then groomed them with chamois cloth at the end of the day, clicked the shutters through all the speeds, ostensibly to keep them loose, but mostly just to hear that delicious sound. A Leica is funny - you hardly notice it in your hands when you?re seeing and shooting; only when the work is done do you feel the need to pay it some fond attention."

Forgive the obsession some of us have with the shutter wave form, the VF flare and other such minutia. We're emotionally attached to them too.
