No, I don't clean my review gear nearly well enough. Yes, I am very slow and/or late to the party.

But dust aside, sometimes being slow or late has its advantages - as in the case of coming to the Leica Q three years later, just as Leica has announced a new app for all of its cameras that offers a fascinating alternative to the design approach of Zeiss' soon to be released ZX1.

And just as I'm remembering just how wonderful simple manual cameras with mod-cons like available AF -- as opposed to what I'll call "inherent AF" -- can be.
