Would you just check these great features out:<\/p>\n<p><center><img src=http:\/\/www.pindelski.org\/Blog\/AssholesLeica2.jpg><\/center><\/p>\n<p>4 &#8211; 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&#8217;t.  And it&#8217;s a nicely engraved, anyway.  That&#8217;s German craftmsmanship for you.<\/p>\n<p>5 &#8211; I like being a member of a group whose average profile is: Rich, semi-retired white male, wheeze when I walk, couldn&#8217;t take a picture to save my life, really wish my wife would slim down a hundred pounds or so, receding or no hair, last exercised when raising a glass of vintage French champagne to my lips. <\/p>\n<p>6 &#8211; Having a collector&#8217;s Leica means I must be a great photographer.<\/p>\n<p>7 &#8211; I think waiting a couple of days for my pictures to come back from my $5,000 camera is the height of <i>chic<\/i>.  What do those digital guys know anyway?  A passing fad.<\/p>\n<p>8 &#8211; I think blowing $5,000 on an imitation of a camera first made over fifty years ago really validates my success in life.  <\/p>\n<p>9 &#8211; My dad got his in WWII when he liberated Berlin and this one&#8217;s nicer.  The old man should see me now.<\/p>\n<p>10 &#8211; Like my Harley it&#8217;s only 50% foreign content and who&#8217;s telling?<\/p>\n<p>How did you do?
