This is only a test. Answer Yes or No.
1 – I believe cameras are objects of beauty to be collected and should only be kept in climate controlled display cases.
2 – I like the strap lugs on my Leica M like on the early models where they are too far up and back, ensuring the camera tilts forward on my waist.
3 – I like the whole retro look thing because it means I am so cool and you cannot get it at the Apple Store. Would you just check these great features out:
4 – I get a real buzz from knowing that I paid $2,000 more than you did for your new rangefinder Leica, because I could. And you couldn’t. And it’s a nicely engraved, anyway. That’s German craftmsmanship for you.
5 – I like being a member of a group whose average profile is: Rich, semi-retired white male, wheeze when I walk, couldn’t take a picture to save my life, really wish my wife would slim down a hundred pounds or so, receding or no hair (me, not the wife), last exercised when raising a glass of vintage French champagne to my lips.
6 – Having a collector’s Leica means I must be a great photographer.
7 – I think waiting a couple of days for my pictures to come back from my $5,000 camera is the height of chic. What do those digital guys know anyway? A passing fad.
8 – I think blowing $5,000 on an imitation of a camera first made over fifty years ago really validates my success in life.
9 – My dad got his in WWII when he liberated Berlin and this one’s nicer. The old man should see me now.
10 – Like my Harley it’s only 50% foreign content and who’s telling?
How did you do? If you answered ‘Yes’ to one or more of the above, do I have the thing for you:
