[Leica] Leica M type 262

[Frank Verizon]

Leica is obviously catering to the RICH AND FAMOUS market segment as one of their focuses.  Need has no relevance. Status does. 

The owner of Leica recently had a video out that focused on a speech he made entitled something like Luxury Products.  Not features you need or f-stop  DOF.

Frank, it's not a matter of the money; it's buying the camera you need.

I've had several still camera with video capability, and have only shot
video with any of them accidentally.
