I will go ahead and make the bold statement that short of the Leica
leather case; there is no piece of Leica equipment he owns that is
cheaper then my ENTIRE SETUP.
I think I'll win in the portrait department. Why? Because one thing I
have noticed is that RF's are hard to beat in the "candid" street shots,
but for things which require extremely close focus, RF's lose by a lot.
My 90mm Macro will do a number on him, when I want to take a pic of his
eyes or her eyes, and have the entire eye fill the frame. Not really
possible with an RF..
Also, I think if I told his wife how much _I_ spent on my setup, she'll
lecture him until the day one of them dies...
Leica is a cult.. The camera is only secondary..
