[Leica] Camera as a weapon

[Mark Rabiner]

All these cameras its great to have a few backups if you want to still take
pix as they have been known to break on certain impact situations.
A Rolleiflex will break when it hits something.
A Leica of course will.
But a Speed Graph if it breaks you whip out a screwdriver and fix it... In
the trench. On the run.....

The standard operating procedure for the Speed  Graphic (assuming you're in
a crown of photogs) is
1. smash to the left
2. smash to the right
3. click the picture.
But its a 123 thing I think.
 this establishes your turf and clears your shot.
