    Leica sells cameras for people with more money than sense. I mean come on, $5K for a film camera?

    Their stuff is made more as a status symbol than an actually useful device. From a technical standpoint it makes no sense. You can buy a high end camera and a full compliment of lenses and other accessories and still spend less than they charge for the base model.

    Or if you're into analog, you can do that for a small fraction of the price.
