I can never understand all the whinging over Leica prices. Sure, the T is pricey—what's the big deal? No one forces you to buy it. The issue seems to be that everyone one WANTS a Leica, they're just not willing to pay the premium required.
Why? Well in my experience, Leica simply makes better cameras than most of the other guys. The fact that they charge for them is a point of aggravation to those who want one but can't afford it. I've got five Leica bodies and fourteen Leica lenses. If I had to sell all of my camera equipment, they'd be the last things to go, excepting the Hasselblad SWC. I'm sure this will annoy the Ricoh-Pentaxian-Fujistis on this list, but I've got my fireproof suit on (permanently), flame away... :-) Godfrey > On Apr 24, 2014, at 11:00 AM, Tim Bray <tb...@textuality.com> wrote: > > They managed to preview the new Leica T without mentioning the > essentials: “less for more, in a really cool body, and everyone will > know you’ve got money to burn” -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
