[Leica] LUG yearbook

The slippery slope fallacy.
If we allow Nikons we must allow Cell phones.
Nothing in the end matters. It's all a big joke.
It doesn?t matter what gear you use.

    Bentley, it?s made by VW, as are Skodas, Seat, Lamborghini and Bugatti,

    Leica has rebranded Minoltas, Fuji, Panasonic, Sigma, Schneider  and I
    understand they?re getting ready to make a Leica and brand it a Zenit!  
How

does
    the Huewei phone/camera.
    
    In truth, I don?t think we can legally put the Leica brand on our cover,
    though we may have in the past.
    
    Drawing lines in the sand can get awfully confusing.
