>>4331124i hate leica because its bad design everywere
>shutter dial not in a smart place for the camera user, is supposedly a smart place for the engineer linking it to the FP shutter clockwork with as few, easily installed parts as possible>focusing system CAN NOT use lenses outside of a narrow focal range without ugly and inconvenient, inaccurate goggle systems>"but SLRs hurt my big schnozz" - well then, olympus pioneered offset viewfinder SLRs before leica was even "legendary" (by association with some talked up talentless hacks)>film loading and rewinding is absolutely retarded in its own special way on every model>"but black rectangles are my idea of aesthetic" - i'm sorry you have no taste. SLRs with a prism are better looking. see: om-1n. nicer looking than any leica. also nicer to use. dont care how smooth your film advance is everything else sucks on a leica.If it were not for the "leica freedom train" this brand would have died very early on and the invention of photography would have gone to Glorious Soviet Russia's own Comrade Min, inventor of the 35mm SLR.
