The only time I ever hear anyone ask for a specific camera it's usually "must own Canon 5D mk2."
It's complete BS. And using only a Leica means nothing. I went from a college student using an M7 like anyone else on this forum to working for the Wall Street Journal all using only Leica's and it has never gotten me any mention anywhere. I know a senior staffer at the NYTimes and he is the only other news photographer I know using a Leica on every assignment day in and day out and there's never any mention of it.
Just use the camera you like to use. I have to work harder using a Leica. And I keep trying to switch to DSLR's just to make my job easier but I keep going back because I just love working with the camera. Its few strengths outweigh its many weaknesses.
