Right. That wasn't made clear until your second post. Peace.
"Leicaphool" is defined in the last sentence of my above post.

A Leica is the Aston Martin of the camera world.
I'd MUCH rather have a Dodge Viper or Ford GT.
Although acceptable shots can be made down to 1/8th sec by someone with steady hands, I recall a test that showed a photographer had to be shooting at 1/500th to remove all evidence of camera shake at big enlargements. Since reading that I've looked at many famous photographs, particularly street photos, and concluded the apparent sharpness is largely due to shutter speed, not just stellar glass.1/250 or 1/125 is no big issue without tripod. I use them more for speeds of 1/30 and below...

Then you've never driven and maintained one.
True, but wish I had.
I see quite a few Astons round here; they are all driven by very rich, leathery old men, very slowly, taking their very rich, leathery old wives to Waitrose.
Hmm.
Maybe there is some connection between Leica ownership and Aston ownership after all ?
When you run out of quail's eggs on a Friday evening and Fortnums won't deliver until Monday, what in the world else is one supposed to do?
You sir, have no taste in, or appreciation for, cars.
The problem with european society and us society , these countries educates the idiots and high iq people at the same level. They all find good jobs , earn 100 times than Turkish worker and they be part of a community. They have good education , lots of hobbies , lots of toys , lots of money - look at these nikon owners , they have 50 nikons - etc.
But the trick , big majority of these people have low iq , you cant change this whether you have 45000 atomic weapons or not.
They have no brain power to understand art , artists , collectors and logic behind that.
And they bash Leica , classical music , jazz music , rembrandt , van gogh , history... % 50 of the us public believes there are too much people living on earth and someone might erase them.
We are dealing with extremelly dangerous people , Leica is the least important

Actually the continuous close attention was part of the appeal, a bit like having a racehorse - take care of it, and it's wonderful. Neglect it, and it's an expensive nightmare.
But the maintenance thing was true of most all high-performance cars of that era, Jags needed nursing too.
For a while there Lotus Elise's had Toyota engines in them. At least the motors were reliable.
