I'd never head of a Leica S2P that's not an acronym its a model number.

Comedy is hard.
The medium format digital class of cameras are set at prince points which
make impossible the degree of mass conspicuous blissful consumer ignorance
which goes on with the buying and selling and trading aback and forth  and
chatting about consumer DSLR's.
Its not a "had one sold it" kind of thing.
It involves financing. It involves a learning curve normally involving the
use of tethered technique. Not a thing you go "click" to start a bid on ebay
on.
A huge commitment to image making.

Its hard to do comedy when one is not fully aware of the germ of the issue.
You don't often see comedy in which the perpetrator is not fully aware of
what the joke is all about. When that happens the jokes on him.
