Why do you have to "market" a rangefinder and the Leica per se.. just talk about the PHOTOGRAPHY !!!

@writerman242 Shhh! Creative people like to come up with ways to think they are better than others... he said it!

(Seriously, this could have been a better documentary about street photography without the pompous bs. I've used a rangefinder before, but c'mon.)

GO FOR AN IPHONE CAMERA... MOST QUIET, SMALL AND INDISTINGUISHABLE...

The Best Camera is the One That's with You

@eyeofaliphotography Thanks man I think sometimes too much focus on the "right" camera which of course is Leica for many To be honest if i had the money i would NOT buy a Leica Too much money for the little logo maybe the camera is good maybe it isn't How can we ever know? Most people don't even know what kind of camera i use but many like my photos and that's very satisfying Even subjects like to have me send the files to them sometimes. gear and soul in balance is my motto (among others LOL)

@writerman242 Rightly said!! I liked the documentary when it started... but it got more of a "sales pitch" for rangefinders and Leica... !!

3.55 pic @ the station, thats Haarlem, my hometown! Come again! but please, stop the talking and just shoot. Let your images do the talking for you!

the guy with the m9 "frames reality", nothing but dodging and burning? How come he converts to b/w? not sure of his own beliefs about SP? clearly the case. "reality" for most of us humans is happening in colour...so why convert? I mean I DO all the time, but i don't make up pompous crap to justify what i think..
