I travel a lot, mostly on culinary vacations to Europe. So I will be taking shots of restaurants and food, not to mention the outdoor surroundings. I am new to photography (taking a class this fall). I would like to buy a Leica because I love the brand and the quality. Problem is that many people tell me that Leica will not meet my needs. I am told that Leica will not focus correctly when shooting plates of food. Is this correct? I won't be within inches of the plate, a couple of feet away at least. Seems odd that a camera like a Leica would have problems taking a picture of a simple plate of food, no?

Thanks in advance for your reply,
