C hing, you pay for the RED DOT ...

$1300 US for the handgrip ..  ( ~ $1500 here at least )   

So .. dont complain $350 for a nikon/canon grip la..

well a Leica lens cap that's exactly the same as a $3 generic cap costs $80

but i would still rather have a low tier Leica camera than a high tier nikon/canon one

Catpiano

Sadly .. there is no low tier Leica digital camera ..   

Unless you consider the M8.2 is the low tier ..  but say a ~ $10K combo on a M8.2 ..   still not perform near as good as a $5KNikon/Canon combo ..

Well .. again, "REAL" Leica users are not worrying about PERFORMANCE/PRICE.

I have few Leica DC ..  but I wont' call them LECIA ..  they are basically Panasonic + a $500 red dot ..  lol

Same as Mark Levinson in my stupid toyota 8 seater ..  it is just .. the LOGO ..   

Still, one day ..  I would like the get the "R" series ..  entry level Leica .. just to collect ..



So .. no matter this S2 or Red, or a Veyron ...  just our dream ...  ( Wait .. may be Mr. H has them all!! )

I don't mind the Lumix branded models as long as they are the same as the ones that are Leica branded.

It's just an emotional attachment.

Silly.
典型玩器材心態，
唔係，只係玩Branding優越感添。
