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. > Sounds rather short-sighted.
