It is precisely your love of the product which is likely to cloud the financial judgement. From an economic point of view the sensible thing is to buy Leica lenses and invest in Canon stock :-) I see an analogy here to the shares in famous football clubs. Many supporters bought them as a sign of their loyalty; few have made any money on them. The only club which is successful both on the field and as a business is Manchester United.
