I wish that no marketing or sales people telling him what to say and what not to say.

We all know the pros and cons of Leica range finders, good to see his interpretation. The Q&A session was very good. Especially how he answer the request for 50 1.4 APO or AF Leica M.

I also like the fact that he didn't hard sell the lenses like 24 1.4, 50 APO, things that are created for collectors or rich chinese market that would buy anything with exotic spec. He could have said things to make those buyers feel smug like most PR exercise, but he didn't.

In the end, he showed that even with an X-Vario you can get very good results if you know what you are doing.
