These things are a matter of opinion, of course, but I don't understand that
attitude. 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?
