[Leica] Stored Leicas

[davidhhching1 at yahoo.com.sg (David Ching)]

Actually I should sell my digital Leicas that are being stored in the dry 
boxes. Sony, you interested?

Shall share my Leica philosophy for those interested. (Otherwise please stop 
reading):

1. Acquire Leica glass as a anti-inflation measure. Use them in safe places 
only. Why? 
- Had a pristine Super Angulon M 21mm nicked from my pocket in a crowded bus 
outside Gare du Nord, Paris last March. Bought it a year before. Checked on 
the Internet and found that its price rose about 15% since then. 
2. Keep Leica digital bodies dry and in cabinets. They are not as robust as 
the lenses. Nor able to tolerate the torrential rains in the places I 
frequent. Keep them pristine and hope to sell them to unsuspecting novices. 
Or collectors.  
3. Show a complete clean Leica set once awhile amongst a gathering of 
Leicaphiles. Cool factor.
Or amongst Nikon and Canon pros. I ain't no pro, you see. Got to be 
different.

Then again use my D800E for assignments, my Fuji X Pro 1 when I am in the 
mood and my Leitz Minolta CL when shooting film.

Cheers,
