I have some dentist friends, and it seems they always snicker when I talk about Leicas, and I'm wondering if I'm pronouncing it wrong

ofc I do... saying Porsh-ah is longer which means there's more chance some will overhear me talking about my Porsche

interesting point, is it Lie-ka or Like-a... the localation of the emphasis on the "eye" and "ka" sound is very important

Bokeh is an English word and that’s how it’s pronounced.

It’s cognate with a Japanese word, sure, but it’s pronounced differently and has a different meaning from that word.

That is bullshit. It derivates from the family name of Ernst Leitz and camera, thus making it Lei-ca.

>>3824876
Don't believe that.

The Properly Anal way is by contracting from Leitz Camera in german, so "lie-ca".

I'm a native mongoloid so I just pronounce it like they would on the hydraulic press channel.

Can you guys now help me identify this Leica lens? I've already done some research:
>Fancy L = Leica
>ASPH. is only used by Leica to designate aspherical elements
>DC VARIO is often used by Leica
Is this camera an underrated gem since they don't declare it's actually a Leica lens?

Looks like Lumix TZ70, a good low-tier point&shoot.
Lumix actually got a partnership with Leica, hence the patented Leica optics ; those are manufactured by Panasonic from Leica blueprints. You can find the Leica name on many lenses in Lumix's catalog.
