I was walking around, shooting pictures at a huge antiques/junk market in Tongeren, a town about 85km from Brussels, when one of the stallholders asked me if I was a professional. I had my M6HM with 35mm lens around my neck. I said no, to which she replied that she just assumed it to be the case because I was not using flash, like all the tourists with their point & shoots. We had a nice, brief conversation about photography. Another time I was having lunch with fellow Brussels LUGgers Francisco, Lucien, Alan and Pascal. They had their various M incarnations on the table, and one of the other guests asked about the camera and commented on its good looks. He was not into photography and did not seem to be familiar with Leica and what it means, but he noticed the uniqueness of the M.
