It would be better to be smart enough to not be blabbing that about. Did he start off shooting Leica in the street? I think he started off shooting an AF Nikon in the suburbs. If you contact sheet Google him you see at once he's not a street shooter at all. He's an LA movie star shooter. He shoots heads in a slightly environmental manner; just look at the pictures. Not always against a flat wall. Sometimes he shoots his movie star portraiture with the guy in the middle of a room. He does ok at street shooting for a non street shooter but he's just a tad out of his element. Nobody should care what he thinks about a camera in a street shooting situation all that much. And OMG how weird he should have to focus a camera? Costing all that money!?!? Not the go to guy with caring about what a new Leica M is all about. I hope he's happy with his vastly super Fuji till they get tired of making them in three years. Then he can buy a bunch of bodies for parts.
