[Leica] Collector / User

[attinasi at mac.com (Marc Attinasi)]

B.D., 

Sorry to disagree with you, but 'Collector' and 'User' are not necessarily 
mutually exclusive.. I collect old cameras, and though much of the reason 
for obtaining them is to just look at them, I also like to use them and I do 
use them - each one. There are a lot of reasons that a person collects 
things, and a lot of reasons that people use things. It is after all a very 
grey world :-)

Try to think beyond your own perspective just a little. The range of human 
experience is varied and incredibly interesting! We do not all fint neatly 
into little compartments!

Cheers!

A collector is someone who purchases something inorder to own it, rather
than use it. In fact, a collector may never use the things he or she
collects, while a user buys more than one of a particular thing because
he or she needs that thing to use it. (I own three M 6s so that I can
mount a different lens on each body and not have to take the time to
switch lenses while I'm shooting. Period.
