Talk:Exceptional photographers who use Leica equipment:

Who decides when a photographer is "exceptional" enough to be on this list? I find it kind of strange that some very, very famous ones (I just added a few) are missing while some forum members are listed. The latter are probably good photographers, but does anybody outside of the forum know them? Why is, say, "Roguewave" on this list, but W. Eugene Smith isn't?

And I hope we're not talking about the distinction between "use Leicas" and "used Leicas" here. The fact that someone is still alive doesn't guarantee that they are still using Leica equipment.
