I am a Leica Expert because...

[RF_newbie]

because I hate FSU Leica knock offs.

lol
or in my case
i am a Leica expert because....i own 3 FSU Leica knock offs.

 

[Pherdinand]

because i picked up more chicks by showing my leica, than by any other means. This includes my rolleiflex.

No - it's a lie, actually.
Chicks dig TLRs much more.
there you are, so i am a Rolleiflex expert as well!

Really, chicks like TLR's more?

My most recent new camera is a 12/24 Rolleiflex 2.8F with Planar.

I'd love to find a 12/24 Rolleiflex 2.8F in Xenotar.

hint hint - if any of you have one, to sell or trade, please contact me.

So, why am I a Leica expert? Because I once bought one that someone had disassembled, literally, screws in a baggie, and I put it all back together. Including identifying which parts were missing, contacting DAG for the parts, and completing the re-assembly. Camera worked fine.

Because I never listen to Leica experts.

 

[FrankS]

I am, but if you need to have it explained to you, you're not going to get it.

Because when I look at the world I see everything with a certain glow. No really it exists, you can't understand until you've experienced it.

Hmm, sounds like LASIK gone bad! 🙂

 

[dazedgonebye]

Because I read all the Leica threads here.

 

[Spider67]

Because I know its constructers name it's Barnegg....Berneck...whatever

Vikko, the Xenotar - Planar Debate raged in the photo mags for a couple of decades. Then when the Berlin wall fell we learned that Rollie was also making cameras with the East German Zeiss Jena 80/2.8 Biometer. Shouldn't you want all three of them? The only chicks I can pick up with my old beat up Minolta Autocord are trailer trash.

That sounds about right.

There's something to be said for trailer trash women, Al.

And frankly, if they're impressed by an Autocord, then they clearly are more knowledgeable than you might think.
