Absolutely no value-added as an instrument for taking
pictures. In fact, its a step backwards. Although it
might touch the hearts of true die-hard Leica fans,
but as far as I'm concerned, there is really no
sentimental ties. I can't see myself typing with an
Underwood typewriter now that I have a PC.
