Eh?! Are you serious??!!!

I have posted numerous comments criticizing Leica, but even I wouldn't make the claim that Leica S lenses are nothing special because .............. they...

@HowaboutRAW

I simply use the flash thing to illustrate a point, namely that a great deal of what one pays for in a Leica lens or camera is just excessive markup due to snob value.

Their pocket...

Well, I did couch my remarks partially in the past tense. Well, I think the writing was on the wall for DSLRs as soon as the very first mFT, the Panny G1, came to market. So they were right to...

No, VERY well informed; having over the years tested Oly gear and followed Oly developments on various forums, including the Oly DSLR forum here on DPReview. So my view of the Oly forum is based on...

@JDThomas,

Your main point is taken (Lamborghini).

But I think you have bought into the myth of Leica a little too much. Zeiss stuff is every bit as well made as Leica stuff (see Roger Cicala's...

@kodachromeguy

Well, "mid-career professional" means very well off and/or earning a salary in the higher percentile of the population; meaning it's in real terms unobtainable, like I said, by a...

Well, I can assure you I am not a fanboy of any system; I use four flash brands and three camera brands and none of the cams are made by Oly (nor have I ever owned an Oly cam). :-) Just telling a...

@yabokkie

eh?!!

Try shooting outside on a sunny day when you have a big set i.e. you need a wide angle lens to fit in your entire composition or have to step back a great distance. You will be at...

And why on earth would any sane person want to?!!

@JDThomas

I think your attitude is totally wrong for if one followed your line then it would stifle ambition; some folks might be complaining because they would one day like to own a medium format...

@yabokkie

You are completely missing the point. With today's Canon and Nikon cameras you CAN NOT sync flash at anywhere near 1/1000 sec and at FULL POWER but with the Leica you can and you can do...

@Photomonkey

"When [you] owned an M-4 in the seventies a new lens was a month's pay."

So it was expensive but obtainable; now the situation is very different because a Leica lens, a good one,...

@MadRussian

I was thinking to myself "wow! hold on a minute! almost everything one photographs pre-exists the camera being used and was made by someone else and is therefore a copy of someone...

@Mr Ed M

I don't think Gaylord needs to. Firstly, I suppose,the soldiers were in a public place, and for second, their likeness is not being used for advertising or product endorsement as their...

No not really. Think of it like this:

it seems that someone at the postal service messed up when drawing up the contract as these are matters that should have been addressed at the outset (usage rights).

@xMichaelx

Thanks for pointing out how bad this is for photography. I have been going through all the comments, and just before I got to yours I was thinking the same thing myself.

I was thinking...
