You are so right John. Mi first impression with the Leica is that you hav to
think before you shoot. The steps to wind, focus and frame makes you be more
careful with what you do. It's amazing how precise the range finder is when it
comes to framing.
Actually the above is not necessarily correct, depending on the type of
work you do with a Leica. In street photography, for example, you will
pre-set exposure, focus, etc., and shoot, and framing be damned!

It's funny how there seems to be a rivalry between Leica and Contax users.
To me
both these cameras hold their turf qualitywise.

In reality there is not much of a comparison since Contax makes some quite
inexpensive SLR bodies (and some reasonably priced Zeiss lenses to match)
while Leica does not.
