And these others aren't your friends? :-)

Actually he got couple of M bodies and lenses. And Nikon F when we are at it.
And when we are at it: can you show some photos to prove that owning
a Leica (and a Nikon, Contax, Contax G, Hasselblad and Bronica, as
far as I remember your equipment) made you a good photographer? :-)
As far as I know, true art skills is something money cannot buy, even
if you are a lawyer or a manager of biggest steel plant in your
neighbourhood. Yes, better camera will help you shoot some photos,
some of things you simply cannot do with cheaper one. But I saw
too many people showing his "professionalism" with Nikon F they
were bringing with them to make some candid shots..
Oh! forget it!
I definitely need a woman today:
'Cingera Leonora/.
(con dolorosa esclamazione)
Oh giusto cielo!
