    You're kidding. Why leica fault, if you are too poor to buy you a leica? Sure, I would take a Leica just as well as a Nikon. But I have a Leica M8 and additional Zeiss ZI. So what?

    You try to compare a mixture of noctilux/summilux with a 50/1.8 and 20/4? Where's the sense? There are a lot of cheaper lenses for M-Bajonett and even your comparision lames.

    Your whining is based on the attempt to persuade the people not to buy a leica, because you can not buy.

    But that's the way the ball bounces.

    Last but not least, if your need Imodium, just save the money at all, make your vacations at center parks an buy a a Samsung ES15.

    The Hong Hoa hotel in HCMC, Vietnam is $7,300 a year, or probably less if you negotiate.

    M. Herr Liebreiz,

    You fail at having a sense of humour.

    But at the end of the year I can sell my Leica kit and I'll have $16000. You'll have f**k all except a bad dose of constipation.

    "...because you can not buy." Then I buy six year old boy to punish if he don't teach me English speak. He bad, I bad too. But my Leica is so cool. All my little boys know not to touch.

    "You'll have fuck all except a bad dose of constipation.". The same dose we get after looking at your awful pictures. What you'll HAVE are amazing photographs taken with non douche equipment. Equipment that works for the real working artist. You might as well buy gold plated dicks to hang around your neck instead of Leicas, they're more to the point.

    This blog rules.
