A photographer (only) does not need to care about how a camera looks - only that it works. However, there is nothing wrong with being a photographer and a mechanic (or collector or a person who appreciates aesthetics or good design). We (maybe I am the only one) are fortunate to have the Leica system - which fulfills both issues. Wonderful to use and wonderful to collect and appreciate (from a mechanic's viewpoint). Tom Shea
