HYPOTHETICALLY of course
If money was no issue... would u still buy a Leica new? (this of course does not apply to all you guys who actually bought new Leicas)
I once owned a new Leica. I sold it in 2 months. I was so fearful of scratching it or bumping it that it stayed in the dry box for the most times and only came out for a careful fondle now and then. :bang:
My second hand old FM2 on the otherhand was used and brought everywhere. I was not bothered if I scratched or bumped it. The end result was that the FM2 "took" better pictures than the Leica simply because it went out of the dry box more!
I think I can't bring myself to buy a new or mint leica. I would really prefer ones that had some brassing on them so that I would actually use them!
