Default to give a leica as gift

Yesterday I gave my woman a C-LUX1 as birthday gift. She never liked my R equipment, but was so pleased and happy for her new toy that we spent all the night in studing the instruction manual...

Fernando, I'm guessing that you had in mind a reward other than a night of reading the manual!

A few years ago, I gave my folks a Leica P&S for a gift. I think they enjoyed it, but I prolly got more a thrill out of knowing that my parents were shooting Leica.

Carl,
I hope very much she won't fall in love with the M series, my earning won't be enough...

Pascal,
she said me, she will be very proud of the red dot showing it to her friends!

Chris,

I understand how you feel. ;-) I also hope she uses it more than the Pentax P&S I got my wife for her birthday a few years back. She never uses it. On the other hand, there is no chance of catching Leicanitis from a Pentax.....

Default Took 2 tries, but I finally gifted an M3

Yup, that's right. I bought an M3 for a childhood friend of 28 years who was always into photography. The friend rejected it, wanting something big & digital. So, on an impulse, I gave the M3 to another, new friend of 1 year, who was delighted. The M3 is back shooting, and I feel partially validated. People are strange!
