[Leica] A Weakening... Somebody Stop Me!

collapsible!<< 

Definitely a pro....but a con when you forget to fully un-collapse the
lens as I've been known to do on occasion with my 50/2.8 Elmar. 

Sometimes I wish Leica had put some kind of flag in the viewfinder
warning me when the lens wasn't fully and completely in the un-collapsed
position.

Best thing about the M6 over the M4 is that the metering light blinks,
informing me when I forget to remove the lens cap. 

I've determined that I'm now the biggest idiot in the world when it
comes to photography, because of lost photographic opportunities due to
un-removed lens caps and un-collapsed lenses. 

I've been brainwashed into having digital cameras to do all the thinking
for me. (I can't remember having lens cap and lens collapsing issues
back when I used Leica M exclusively and often.) 

Using DSLRs has dumbed me down. I feel I've been victimized. Help, I
need legal representation! :-)
