A lot of Leicaphiles have had little experience with much else as they are Leicaphiles first (or gear heads who then elevate to Leica) and photographers second. Any kit used before Leica gets relgated to bad memories once the light has been discovered....
A real gearhead is not fussed by brand but blind fondling, smells, textures and heft (bigger = better unless exceedingly small (preferably microscopic) which is also good! Leicaphiles are therefore gearheads second and photographers third perhaps?

I'm not sure if you are trying to be humorous here, but the notion that Leica users are not real photographers is getting old real fast. Please leave it alone.
If this was an attempt at humor please throw some emoticons in there!

Apparently, in the RFF bookshelf, there is a shelf for the gear-head and
a separate one for the real photographer.

Also, there are the real pros that have (and dislike) > 5 Leicas at home
and have tried in their 30 years of photographic experience all Leica
lenses on the market. Add to that, experience with pro digital bodies,
medium and larger format, Zeiss and CV lenses, and time for > 20 posts per day on
RFF. They know their craft and you can learn from them - that is, if you
are not interested in fondling your gear.

This is getting boring.

And the funniest part is that threads like this will promote the sale of
the new Summarits and increase the active Puts audience
