Re: Parody: "I Am a Total Devotee of Leica M Photography"

Look on the bottom of your Leica tri-finder and you'll see the words "Made in Japan". A bit disappointing...

And it seems to me both Leica R8 and R9 support (gasp!) matrix metering! (Oh, but they're no M-cameras.)

And what WILL all the M-purists do when the Cosina-Epson and (double gasp!) DIGITAL M's come to market??

Guess the electronic M7's a no-no too...

I look at other cameras with an attitude that's whimsical.
I do not want an SLR with viewing pentaprimsical.
The look of glass from Asia makes me squint my eyes and squirm a knee.
I'd rather get my lenses from a little town in Germany.

He'd rather get his lenses from a little town in Germany.
He'd rather get his lenses from a little town in Germa-Germa-ny.

(MASTER AMATEUR)
I will never put my camera on a tripod that is teetering.
I cannot understand the need for modern matrix metering.
Look back upon my history, it's all in my biography:
I am a total devotee of Leica M photography.

He is a total devotee of Leica M photography.


(MASTER AMATEUR)
I love my Leica cameras with passion that's tyrannical
A rangefinder, a floating frame, and everything mechanical.
The shutter curtain's rubberized, and fashioned from the finest silk.
The lenses have a bokeh that is smooth as summer buttermilk.
