Leica article - interesting read

Hi,

here is an interesting article on the Leica in the New Yorker.

http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007 ... fact_lane/

Long article but a very good read.

Fascinating article! Do we have the same relationship with our cameras, I wonder?

Loved this quote:
You focussed manually, of course, and there was nothing to help you calculate the exposure; either you carried a separate light meter, or you clipped one awkwardly to the top of the camera, or, if you were cool, you guessed. Cartier-Bresson was cool.


Hehehe...
