Please help me look cool!

Penny loafers, black socks with garters, pleated khaki shorts pulled well up over the navel, quasi-Hawaiian shirt (tucked in), small Billingham bag, Tilley hat.
That is the cool Leica shooter summer working uniform.

too true, especially those Tilley hats :D
 
Take advice from the old codgers here that should have gone out and shot alone when we were under 40!

Shoot alone!

:)

At 20, in the mustard-yellow suedette trousers, mosquito boots and kaftan, with the hair down to my shoulders, or the jeans and Tibetan shirts at 30... Yeah, fine. I wore what I felt like then, and I wear what I feel like now.

Even when I was 16 (501s, roll-necks, ex-Bundeswehr combat jacket), I figured that the girls who wanted the fashion of the day would probably not be interested in me, so why should I worry about them?

Cheers,

R.

If you can find some more examples of cool people with leicas or film cameras in general it may save my marriage!

Sounds to me like you have a legal contract for co-habitation instead of a marriage. A Marriage is made of more sturdier material at multiple layers than a legal document alone can quantify.
 
A real man's camera, the Koni-Omega 120. Cool, ain't it?

Every time I see a pic of one of these things ... I want one!

Is there a logical explanation, or do I just need some type of counselling? :eek:
 
'Voila' ... I think I've found your answer! (eat your heart out Brad Pitt!)

Reminds me of the fact that my gf got mad because i gave her my Gr1v and used an OM10 myself--- because she thought i just wanna give her cheap cameras while keeping the fancy ones myself XD

Please tell me I'm not the only person here who doesn't recognise any of those three women (1 x blonde & 2 x brunette) in the first few posts.

No need for a Leica S2 but a red snow cap like Russian president Medvedev's may help to attract attention

Last weekend I was on a kinda of swap meet, with loads of "artistic" hand made stuff, mostly by young girls. I heard "oh look at his camera" and got some looks so Leica is approved by fashion-oriented wannabe-artist chicks.
After quite a lot of field testing in upscale neighborhoods, I have determined that out of all the cameras I own, the best chick magnet is my Zeiss Contaflex I. It gets even more attention than Screwmount or M Leicas. :cool:
 
I've always been a boots and jeans type of bloke and when I made the outrageous decision to get married for the second time in the early nineties my wife tried to change the way I dressed. She bought me a pair of those awful 'boat shoes' with the leather drawstring running around the edge and suggested I could wear them when we went out on Sunday mornings to have coffee and croissants wth her trendy friends!

She's long gone and so are the shoes! :p
