But how much use do you get from a stock certificate, or a C of D? How have stocks done lately? While it would be foolish to be 100% "into Leicas", it's a heck of a lot better obsession than coloured glass, or motor cars. I've had "good clean user" Leica kits three times over the last 20 years, and I've always recovered my initial investment. While not necessarily appreciating over time, I will accept that for the privilege of also being able to use them to make photographs with. When all is said and done, even a few favourite photographs are essentially priceless. Last time I checked, dot.com shares looked pretty boring on the wall.
