I agree totally with the author that too many people buy Leicas 
expecting their photography to immediately improve.  My argument is 
with all of the people writing in to agree who have never used a 
Leica and put it down just because it's considered to be elite or 
snobbish to use one!  People don't understand that it is a tool, just 
like any other camera - suited for some uses and not for others.  The 
prejudice against Leica is astounding to me.
