[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The LUG has always had a high quotient of people who love the Leica mystique but could care less about the Leica reality. They think its too much trouble to use the camera. Or are otherwise just not all that interested in photography period. So all we really hear are the reasons they're not using Leica. All we hear is what's wrong with Leica. But they don't just come out and say it plainly. Not liking rangefinders, not liking Leica, not liking photography. That's three big strikes against you on the Leica USERS list you would THINK. But we don't need a big excuse to not get a 15 thousand dollar camera. That's a fig Newton of someone else's imagination. And bank account. Few people can afford that. But I think in main use they will be rented. In the film days there was the used option. But really an M6 cost the same as an F5 or an EOS. It just SEEMED more expensive if you really couldn't appreatate a cloth shutter instead of a wiz bang microchip controlled quilted titanium one. So we have the makings of conflict in a forum. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: Lottermoser George <imagist3@mac.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2008 09:47:27 -0500 > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] a serious question > > I have a friend > who lives in negative land > 24/7 > certainly doesn't seem happy > when complaining > > as a naive optimist > I try and move > through anger and frustration > as quickly as possible > > Fond regards, > George > > george@imagist.com > http://www.imagist.com > http://www.imagist.com/blog > http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist > > > > On Sep 25, 2008, at 9:32 AM, wildlightphoto@earthlink.net wrote: > >> Tina Manley <images@comporium.net> wrote: >> >>> ...
