I have more than a little temptation to comment on how his essay has
provoked an interesting discussion on snob appeal vs. talent, or at
least to challenge him to a photo competition, my 64 year old,
unadjusted Argus C3 brick against his Leica M3. However given the
subjective aspect of photographic quality, it isn't nearly so cut and
dried as asking whether I'd be able to keep up with him around the
racetrack in his Porsche while driving my Dodge Van.
I've used an Argus brick which is probably now 60+ years old, although it
was nearly 30 years ago that I used it. And I have a Leica M3 which is 52
years old.
I can categorically assure you that the M3 is better than the Argus in all
respects expect brickiness.
But it truly excels at brickiness...
