I'm not speaking for the moderators but I don't mind as long as people
recognize the 20D et al aren't in the same league as the R8/R9 or Canon
1-series cameras.  Accuracy, durability, adjustability count for something
IMHO.  The more I dig into the inner workings of classic mechanical cameras
the more I understand the price difference between a Leicaflex and a
Nikkormat.  I use both, I appreciate each for what it is but there's no way
the Nikkormat and its lenses could be a direct substitute for a Leicaflex,
particularly the SL.
