At least tape off the logo.

People who don’t tape it off deserve for it to be stolen. Can’t believe the number of those guys flaunting it around down here in Kreuzberg.

there is no ethical way to own a Leica

I bought it with my own money = you have too much of it, face the wall

I inherited it = from who, your grandpa Adolf Hitler, because you’re a Nazi?

I found it in a charity shop for £5 = nobody believes you and you will not receive Reddit gold, only death

Was it fun buying a camera you are too scared to use because if you get a single scratch on the body or the completely uncoated lens you will violate your own terms of service to a mortal end

And the fun thing is that if you go back and look and do all the calculations, since the beginning of time Leicas have ALWAYS been priced at what I like to think of as ‘the dickhead level’. Your shit cost like $5000 new in 1935 and everybody hated you then, too
