Leandros, which question? I did not ask you anything, besides that "the WWF and Greenpeace no better, right?" - and that was a rethorical question if you cannot state the obvious...

@how: still the Leica fanboy calls us a liar :). It is a bit Trump style, I would say.
Where exactly did I lie? Saying that you need your phone to set up important/essential settings? This is no...

@how: " Differently: The clients' wishes aren't always the best for the client."
oh man, you seem to have NO idea of photographers reality... NO single clients tells an architectural photographer...

@how: it is getting funny to read your posts :).
