Re: Leicaand Zeiss rule...

Without taking away from anything, National Geographic photographers have not used Leica for years. Some years ago, there was some communications between the LSA and a group of NG photographers about the demise of the quality of NG photographically and of the regulars I don't remember any using Leica. They seemed to have gravitated to Nikon and Canon for the most part. I think 1 or 2 were using Contax. The discussion was started b/c there was a noticable shift in terms of the quality of both the subject matter, the artistic components and a loss of the Leica look of the final images. FWIW I am a Leica and Rolleiflex user.
