Kwesi
Well-known
Come on Kwesi, as you say, reaction, not action. I thought it was just silly and said so. Certainly not the first or last person to do so. Leica stands on their own merit and reputation. They simply do not need to print this type of claptrap. I cannot see where it would sell even one more camera for them.
Full disclosure;
I own a Leica. Always wanted one and treated myself upon retirement to an M4-2, I like it, nice viewfinder. The only thing that let me consider a Leica was CV lenses. Bought used I could afford a small kit.
No gear inferiority complex. I do not long for an MP or M240 or digital of any stripe. Nothing against digital or those who do prefer them, just not my personal preference.
Finally, I'm a dabbler, an inveterate tinkerer with photography and photographic equipment, much of it modified, cobbled together and/or Rube Goldberg contraptions. This is my fun hobby and I am no artist or much of a photographer nor do I lay claim to be.
My apologies Zuiko 85,
After a 10 hour drive from Toronto back to Boston, I was feeling a bit punchy and my off the cuff remark was uncalled for.
You are right. For a marketing job to be well done there should be action, not just reaction.
