It is for the person who wishes to rediscover the style of photography of the early twenties and is fascinated by it. It makes sense to manufacture a camera body that forces one to do some thinking before making a picture. If that is your style of photography? No! Fine, than the Null-series is not for you! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----- Saying that the Lecia 0 is for people who wish to rediscover 20s style photography is like saying that the M6 Gold Thailand is targeted at people who wish to discover the challenging joys of photography with a camera containing a precious metal. The Leica 0 is a collector camera, the marketing enthuses about accurate reproduction, finsih and materials. These are not important things to a user. I would be happily surprised if I actually found somebody using a Leica-0, there will indeed be things to learn without a rangefinder and with just a 50 lens. Sadly I don't think any of them will ever have much film through them or be jammed down the front pants pocket the way that a user Leica SM will be. Jonathan Lee
