Intent and tool for the job and all that. I shoot mostly street with an original MM. It is really good for that type of work. If I were to be doing landscape, which I may return to at some point in my life depending on where I retire, I would shoot with an 8X10 view camera and I would return to the zone system. When I was in college studying photography I had a couple of semesters of the zone system and did the tests had access to a densitometer etc. If I were to retire to a place that would lend itself to that type of work I would get an old Deardorff and do the tests again.
I find the sensors now for Leica M and what most should probably use them for perfectly capable. In many ways the digital world has really brought out the one size fits all mind set driven by the big two.
And I shoot Leica because it is a TRUE rangefinder and I by far prefer that and all of this equipment today is perfectly capable to capture what you are seeing, as Ernst has once said, you just have to see. I shot some with fuji before i pulled the trigger on Leica M and I pulled the trigger on Leica M.
