Just how old are we? It is understandable that possibly the average age of a Leica user or collector is somewhat older than say the Nikon, etc. user for it takes a higher income or greater assets to acquire a $2,000.00 lens than a $200.00 lens. I don't think of myself as old, stodgy, well heeled or grouchy. At 48, I'm just hitting my stride. My 9 year old son does agree with your statement, though and thinks that in the interest of estate planning, I should turn over my Leica system to him NOW. If I do, does that make him old, stodgy, well heeled and grouchy. Brian Levy, J.D. Toronto, Ont. dlevy@worldy.com
