[Leica] (no subject)

[jayanand at gmail.com (Jayanand Govindaraj)]

I am sure they all look different - but that does not mean I can tell which
camera brand they were shot with, which was my original point. After all,
the point is to sell a product, i.e. the print to another person. Nobody is
going to pay you extra because you shot with a Leica instead of a equivalent
Canon or Nikon. I buy a piece of art because I like it and can live with it
on my wall for a long, long period of time, not because of the equipment
that was used in creating it.

BTW, I have been collecting art and photography for close to 25 years, and I
have a lot of experience in the motivation that drives purchases of art.
Cheers
Jayanand
