My World: Of Veblen goods.

I almost fetishise cheap stuff. I have cheap electric guitars, cheap cameras, cheap lenses. I only buy cheap clothes. Is that a revolt against the veblen goods, or is it because I am poor? I don't want a leica anyway. If there is an old 11x14 though, that is a different story.

I don't know. In any case it is immaterial.
No camera ( at least the usual ones used by most photographers and that I know of ) can take pictures of anything by/and on its own. The least one is expected to do is point it at something.

Or often , as in my case, I at least need to remove the lens cap.

I am with you..I find Leica very limiting..no tele, sports, low light, real macro, af and on and on.

Here are a few, of many reasons, why one might not want a Leica..

Leicas are useless
