[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Since I am about to become a new owner of an M system, I can relate to that. However, we own our business, I work hard (when you see me posting with a timestamp at 4AM, that is not fake!), no expensive cars, no expensive suits (T-shirts Yay!), no expensive BBQ grills, and while a gadget head, I don't even own a PDA. We have 7 computers, but we have a home office with a full time employee besides us. Our TV is 20 inches and rarely is turned on, except to watch Anime sometimes, so no cable even. Lots of books, but that is not a luxury, that's a basic human needs. In fact, just about the only things *I* spend money on are food, photo related stuff, didjeridus, and books. I have to say, while I tend to have gotten "expensive" glass for my OM system (the fast/wide F2 lens), they are nothing compared to the Leica glass. There is a lot worse ways to spend your money though. At least buying a Leica does not do anyone any harm (unless may be if you accidentally drop it in someone's head).
