I admire your fortitude for having gone "fully into their systems" based upon "heard a lot about Leica cameras, and was fascinated by the myths." Did you buy them to use professionally...

@Magnar W

"Had four Leica cameras for many years, lots of lenses, earning for a living. There were no magics, and I can confirm that all the repairs were expensive too .."

I am curious.

@BrentSchumer

Thank you for that astute observation, without which the thread would not have been complete - and those of us with limited knowledge of Hermès, Birkin bags and camera sizes unedified!

@3pgrey

That is a beautiful comment - reflecting philosophy, appreciation and contentment! Hats off!

In the Swedish Film Institute building, the beams rising above the sprocket hole windows look like sprockets! I found the design interesting but did not like it - subjectivity...

@Lessiter

Liking the design of a building or not is very personal. I have to say after following the link you posted that I actually liked the architecture of the Leica building very much - and...

Absolutely loved the video - one of the best, perhaps the best, I have seen on DPR. Chris' passion came through wonderfully. After jettisoning my Nikon FM2 and FE2 for a Canon 10D in 2003, I have...

This is an interesting article from Vox. Based on that, I think the idea for this special edition...

Even easier - use Google image search and download whatever you are planning to shoot from the internet! Or use a smartphone if quality is irrelevant!

Celebrate and acknowledge a technological...

I am very impressed with the specs and the technology - and blown away by the price! Kudos to Nikon.

I hope, as a Canon user, that Canon catches up - and that my envy is only temporary!

Does the f/1 in the EXIF information reflect f/0.95? Obviously, the acid test of a lens like this is at its widest aperture and not stopped down.

Only images 13, 19, and 22 are shot at f/1 - and...

The bitterness of the invective matches my expectation for comments on anything and everything that is Leica.

How about this one (randomly chosen as representative of the venom):

"They drive...

Not exactly a sloth if patents were one form of measuring...

Quite droll to read some of the disparaging comments here - referring to "recycled" and "leftover" designs, "dodgy marketing scam," "stop-gap" and so on.

Canon has managed to knock serious weight...

Photos, photos, photos! Now that's what I'd love to see! I thought that was the basic point of all this gadgetry!

Seriously though, as a medium evolves, the pace of change is bound to slow down. I...

My M9-P is over 9 years old now - bought in Aug 2012. Nice patina with the brass showing in places - and reasonable share of bumps and at least one drop on the sidewalk outside Westminster Abbey....

Not Safe for Financial Wellbeing?

Seriously though, much as I admire the technical achievements displayed in the M11, I don't see a reason to upgrade from my M9P which works beautifully with the...

8 M11 articles/headlines/features in 8 days - from 13 Jan to 20 Jan! Impressive!

After reading the "reviews" of the M11 on some eponymous websites that will remain unnamed, I appreciated the candor and freshness of the M11 articles on DPR. From the other reviews, one would feel...
