I'd like an Omega for the price of a Seiko.  Getting a 28-year old
professional into the system at an early age means we'll be buying the
Speedmaster Mars Watch in 2018....

Leica doesn't need 20-year old students to sell more cameras.

Leica doesn't want 20-year old students to dilute their high-end image.  It
is not touted as a camera for the masses.

Buy a Hexar RF if that's your price point.  It's a lot more camera for the
money.
