Thomas welcome to the LUG you undoubtably already know Stephen and Mike; 
Leica is a camera company. 
They make for the longest time the most respected, desired, sought after, used
cameras in the business. 
Sorry you don't like them. 
Lots of people would love to know why you would put the best Leica glass on
plastic junk cameras with wiz bang features.
A smart camera company knows it's only as good as its glass. 
And the Leica camera company makes the best glass
for the best cameras. And I'm not talking in decades gone by.
But now. The M6. The R8.
Have fun with your stupid plastic Konicas!
Leica is about the best cameras
and the best glass.
