pico Posted August 10, 2011 Share #81  Posted August 10, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) It has occurred to me that most of the photographers that I have met, seen and read about that use or used a Leica of some description are males. I wonder what is the percentage of female users of Leicas, especially today’s digital models.  Give it up. First ask how many women aspire to be good photographers and my bet is most say they are happy to get good references to a moment, a scene, mate, or family and they could give a damn about critical opinions  Second, given the price of a Leica which it besoms just another data-point optional barrier to happy-snaps and reinforces a woman's attraction to good, stylish clothing or housing options.  Women are more rational. Men have a penchant to that which they own - and by the way, you don't own your wives as much as a trophy they may appear to be in your eyesl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one aspire to be a good photographer as well as documenting life's moments. I have found that the Leica M2 UGLY price range removes the price barrier as well as all of those freaking digi-menus!!!! I want LIGHT, ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed, focus, SHOOT! You can't really get much simpler or cheaper than that if you already have a darkroom! ) I wear HOLEY 501's but by god I use my Leica! )  That seems rational to ME!

I can save you buckets of money from my jeans collected since the sixties to today. Â Get real. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uroman Posted August 10, 2011 Share #84  Posted August 10, 2011 You pay for clothes that I throw away. I can save you buckets of money from my jeans collected since the sixties to today. Get real.   I am not sure what jeans have to do with photography. But jeans since the 60s? Hm. a little old.  Ms Simplify - Wish you the best! It is great to see more female photographers with leica! I bet you can take some amazing pictures.
