Hmmm......... Let me think..........Light comes in the front of the lens, out the back, and squirts onto the film on one, light comes in the front of the lens, out the back, and squirts onto the film with the other. Yeah, easy
to see the difference.

Heh...well, he was talking a lot about how the big light box necessary to use a prism moves the lens forward significantly and how Leic* lenses usually have far less elements than their SLR counterparts and then he got into something about glass/air pairings or some such optic-speak and most of us just nodded a lot and kept waiting to see if there was a point.

But seriously, folks, this guy is going to teach you a lot about what he thinks about cameras, not so much about photography. bet he couldn't pass a double blind test. Remember, beginning photographers talk about equipment,
advanced photographers talk about composition, great photographers talk
about light.

This photographer mostly talked about how people with Leic*'s take great pictures and everyone else takes OK pictures. ;-)
