A car costs considerably more than a Leica equipment, and the moment you drive the first mile the value drops by 30% or so. And you know definitely that in 10 to 12 years your car will be nothing but junk. On the other hand, your Leica will last. It will probably outlast you. Is that such a bad investment?
