Wouldn't it be better to find the average age of the USERS of the Leica =
gear?  Many people out there using cameras on a day to day basis are not =
members of any clubs.  I know I am not.

Face it, people choose to use Leica because they want the simplicity of =
a manual camera.  I know I am one of those who learned photography with =
access to the auto everything cameras.  (have used both Nikon and Canon =
extensively)  The more I used those "wonder boxes" the more distant I =
felt from my work, until I finally switched to Leica, and suddenly the =
fun was back in my work.  Manual cameras are not for everyone, but for =
those of us who use them it is nice to have a manufacturer who still =
makes "new" manual gear.

BTW I am 32, far from elderly. Just old fashioned, I guess.  :)

Didin't someone (perhaps Marvin) say that the average age of the members =
of
the LHSA was 60+?  Not that 60 is elderly!
