I even remember Red Rooster shoes because when you bought a pair, they gave you a golden egg full of prizes. Talk about cognitive dissonance. Seems like they should have called them Red Hen shoes, but you know what happens when the marketing department gets involved.Anyone one wear Dexter shoes…back when they were actually decent shoes? Warren Buffett really screwed the pooch on that one!
I heard there is going to be a boycott soon.
Interesting, hipster footwear...
Vans, a skateboard, Levi jeans and an instamatic… yup… I was once a hipster! Imagine how much cooler I would have been with a Leica. Not.
My Leica works just fine, thank you very much. So does my Zeiss Ikon and my Bessa and my....
Too many cameras and not enough time.
It is a bit of a myth that mechanical cameras will be repairable for a good time. Technicians are retiring and few are taking up the trade, training is not widely accessible and the possibilities for future sustainable income in the business are shrinking.Sure, there will most probably be a handful of technicians who can custom manufacture no longer available parts and work on difficult or rare cameras, but it will cost a relatively small fortune. Even the manufacturers no longer support some of their older, mechanical and electronic cameras. Leica will have nothing to do with my M5, I don't even know if they'd take it in trade for a different model. Add to that, there is a generation of users that doesn't even consider repairing items, preferring to rid themselves of them and getting something newer.

I think hipsters wear porkpie hats or flat (driving) caps, not fedoras.But akshully I don't see hipsters on skateboards. The skater-punk ethos is not for them. All that activity would make their mustache wax melt. And it's hard to skate wearing a Fedora - believe me I've tried...

That guy has it wrong. The hats shown (except for the lead photo) are porkpies, not fedoras.Here is an interesting article entitled "How Hipsters Ruined a Perfectly Good Hat". Spoiler Alert: It says hipsters ruined the fedora. Of course, like most of the stuff on the internet, it's just one guy's opinion.

meanwhile (Just what is it that makes Leica cameras so different, so appealing? ) ...
Most of the cameras will works with once in awhile use.
Exactly. Canada is real life example. Old ones are leaving us and here is nobody to replace them. Financially not viable job for young ones.
Maybe newly retired will step in at some point. Or it will be done in cheap labor countries. But parts are big problem.
I'm keeping my M4-2 to have it retrofitted with digital sensor and global, electronic shutter in the not so far from now future.
If I could count the times that happened to me when I rolled into a store with my M7 - using both hands - I would still have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs left.
I don't know any hipsters personally, but if you look at the photographs of people on the internet who self-identify as hipsters, a lot of them are wearing boots, except that since L.L. Bean boots are really well made and never go out of style, no one donates them to Goodwill, so hipsters can't get L.L. Bean boots, and the boots hipsters wear are usually just poorly made knock offs which are readily available at the local thrift shop. As I understand it, it takes more than wearing boots to be a hipster, but I don't know what the other stuff is on the dress code, but I think you have to adhere to it pretty strictly, which is not to say I haven't seen photographs of self-identifying hipsters wearing sneakers, but I don't know what kind they are, maybe P.F. Flyers, but I'm not sure. Then there is the whole approach to life thing, but I don't know anything about that. Anyway, I think you are probably too old to be a hipster so you are safe wearing your L.L. Bean boots and avoiding all the derision that hipsters have to endure just because they are in their twenties and still finding themselves. I had already found myself by the time I was in my twenties, and sometimes I wish I hadn't, but before that watch out. It was so embarrassing I threw all the analog photographs of me at that age in the trash. Hipsters have to contend with Facebook and Instagram, where no photo is too humiliating not to keep eternally. Let me know if you have any other questions about things I know nothing about and I'll be happy to bring you up to speed.
What was the hat that Mr White aka Heisenberg wore in Breaking Bad??That guy has it wrong. The hats shown (except for the lead photo) are porkpies, not fedoras.
I didn't know about the hipster creed you are talking about, but I guess I was a hipster before they called them hipsters?
That was a pork pie hat,What was the hat that Mr White aka Heisenberg wore in Breaking Bad??
