As a photographer who's earned a good portion of his family's "keep"
by using cameras, for 45 years;
and has used Leica cameras for most all of those years;
(along with Hasselblad, Linhof, Cambo, Deardorff, Toyo, Nikon, Canon and 
Mamiya)

It seems obvious that you are neither a professional photographer
nor serious Leica user
to "think" that a craftsman's chosen trade tools are not "essential."
