I'm surprised when someone knows what a Leica is! 

I remember photographing at an art exhibit. I was standing on the other
side of a sculpture from two women who were looking at it, and they didn't
realize that I was photographing them after I took over 10 frames. 

And I do get the "Your flash didn't go off" several times. It happens with
my F5 too.
