Doug, your reply is, uh, provocative.
I'd like to learn more about the differences you mention; have you posted your
comments somewhere? Or would they ruffle too many feathers? ;o)
Thanks!/Scott Gardner (who is always interested in learning something more
about quality . . .)

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.
