While price and condition are obviously important, and different people will prioritise different things, I'm surprised that in a visual medium like photography people would be so dismissive of how their camera looks - especially where it concerns Leica Ms, which are famously well designed and good-looking. The pandas lack visual harmony and in my opinion are ugly. Other things being more or less equal, why would one choose ugly?
