The first time I saw a Titanium M6 with matching Summilux, it was hanging around the neck of a young guy in Hong Kong. He didn't appear to be using the camera for photography, he also didn't appear to be a collector. He did have a really good-looking girl holding his hand and giving him all of her attention. People have reasons for buying Leica, and who is to say our motive is the best?
