So, now I have an interesting problem. I have an opportunity to purchase a brand new gorgeous Leica 0. I'd really like to buy it. But, I've never bought a camera for the sake of collecting (my kit includes an M6TTL, an M5, an M2 and a Leicaflex SL). On the one hand, I really love this camera; on the other hand, the chances of actually using it are slim to none (ok, maybe I'd run a couple of rolls through for giggles just to see what Leica enthusiasts circa 1924 had to deal with). In short, it is likely to live in its box, perhaps to be brought out occasionally for the sole purpose of paying homage to Oscar Barnack. Maybe eventually, I'd even buy a glass case for it. But!! The idea of buying a camera simply to collect it really doesn't compute for me. Does anyone have any good reasons why or why not to buy this beauty? Other than that I love it of course.
