These days here in the northeast, one has to travel to already target
rich environments to have the Leica attract any sort of wanted
attention. I mean, walking through Washington or Union Square in NYC.
*Maybe* Rittenhouse in Philly but only on a blue moon.

Aside from that attention, I find that a Leica attracts mostly older
men and hipster fanboys that carry broken Yashicas as jewelry. Neither
of those groups appeal to me.
