Funny thing is, if you go to photography events, like PhotoNight in LA,
or museum openings, or photo conferences, if some one has a camera
around shoulder, it is invariably a Leica M.  Maybe it is just a badge.
Even Tim Page at the ASMP Biennial spoke with Leica on his shoulder at
the podium (The G2 was back at his seat).

Maybe it is the photojournalist alternative to sucking our thumbs for
security.
