So what is all the complexity for, exactly? I look at a 1925 Leica 1(a) and smile at its miniature simplicity. Form and function in perfect Zen-like harmony. " A great point you've stated above. More complexity, more $$$, more weight, more learning curves, more grief in trying to keep up with the latest and supposedly greatest, when you can grab a lightweight body and a lens, go for a walk and enjoy the outing very simply.
