[Leica] The Real Cost of Leicas

[Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com (Frank Dernie)]

When I started photography I could afford 1 36 exposure film per month.
I thought a lot about what I wanted before I shot. I probably missed loads 
of shots which might have been better.
The comment which some people throw about "film is cheap" has always made my 
blood boil since it had been, for me, so patently untrue, and is a load of 
rubbish.

Now I have fewer financial constraints and digital I do shoot more, but 
those years of being economical have left their mark.
