M7 Unappreciated

[Eddie90723]

Pointless little story:
I was at Bottega Louie in Downtown LA last weekend when I spotted a very tall, bohemian, blond with an M7 flung over her shoulder. She could not have looked more miserable if she tried! How could anyone be unhappy at any point in their life when carrying a Leica _____ on their person?! True I only have a Leicasonic, but still! I would have been so happy to take it off her hands. Or kick her knees in and run with it. Either or

Not quite the makings of a country song.

Next time just ask her how she can be unhappy when she has a Leica.

What is a Leicasonic? A red dot airplane?

 

[Pickett Wilson]

Believe it or not, owning a Leica isn't the path to enlightenment.

 

[MCTuomey]

hmm, she's tall, young, blond and sports an M7

i'm tall, greying, large, unsightly and sport an M7

who should be less happy?

anyway, you might have tried this for a pickup line: "if it would make you feel better, i'd be happy to take the M7 off your hands, ya know, lighten the load a bit ... what say?"

It's a Leica that tells you whether it's a boy or a girl whenever you photograph a pregnant woman.

Either that or it's a Panasonic with Leica label.

Maybe she wasn't that miserable...

Maybe she was carrying it for her boyfriend that was off somewhere shooting with his other Leica camera and made her wait for him

Maybe she wasn't that miserable...

Maybe she was tired of skittish dudes eyeballing her and her camera.

She'd just found out the price of the MP finder upgrade!

 

[Neare]

Maybe someone told her Leica was out, Lomo was in.

 

[Peter_Jones]

She'd just realised all her shots that day were with the lens cap on !

I think after buying it she noticed that it has no monitor where she can look at the photos.

Me too. A possible Eagles song ?

 

[antiquark]

Maybe she really wanted a Nikon.

Don't you really miss a shot, that you couldn't catch?..
