All right then: homeless Leica owners arise and be heard! Let's be serious, shall we? I too, can barely afford my Leica stuff. It took me eight years to buy two SL2's and seven lenses in the 70's. My point is that UNLIKE high-priced audio equipment, where the $20,000 turtable and $10,000 cartridges are to be found, Leica photography equipment is quite reasonably priced. You can get an entire R8 kit for less that the price of many popular speakers.
