Buying a Nikon doesn’t make you a photographer. It makes you a Nikon owner.

Leica, schmeica. The camera doesn’t make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But you have to see.

Most working professionals don’t dwell on gear. What’s funny (a lot of times not) is that hobbyist spend more time focusing on gear and talking about it, than becoming a better photographer. The thing is hobbyist have day jobs and having the latest equipment is more of a fun luxury rather than a cost of doing business.

Most professionals are too busy on assignment to keep up on the latest and greatest in the market. Most pro’s can take good photos with pretty much anything. So just a quick word of advice, pro’s hate talking gear with hobbyist, or any one for that matter. Odds are, you know more than they do.
