My wife is a graduate of Art Center in Pasadena, her major: photography. We collect photography in fact. Michael Kenna, Sally Man, Elliot Erwitt, among others. Of course, that put me smack into the middle of what goes into photography. I've heard the Leica is the choice of photographers in high stress situations. From what I know, that means the Leica cameras are durable, lightweight, and most importantly very quiet. They are the favorite cameras of foreign correspondents for these obvious reasons; plus photography students, according to my wife, hold them in the highest regard.
As I remember, Leicas are something like three times the cost of other 35mm cameras, but from what I've seen, they're by and far beautiful pieces of machinery.
