Some of you probably already saw this but still I was tempted to share it here

It seems that Jason Momoa is not just a collector but an actual user! Though any Leica M looks tiny in his gigantic hands though...

Mmm, working on a 'special project' with Leica, what could it be, a halibut skin covered M10 perhaps, or a barnacle encrusted 'lost at sea' M3 tribute? My wallet will remain shut clam tight.

Sends flagship cameras to celebrities for free and likely pays them for exposure. Charges loyal paying customers thousands of dollars for bad sensors, failed af motors, continued service failures.

Really?

Yes that's how it works and we loyal customers probably pick up the bill...

Yes, it's fine if you also pay the bill for your incompetent flaws instead of forcing them on your customer.

Wow who pissed in your morning cereal today?  You do realize that every large company uses ‘personalities’ to hock their wares, right?

The market bears the price.  The company pays its op-ex.  Hopefully the company makes a profit.  

Sounds like business to me.

if you read his comments some of the posts guessing stuff would be unnecessary. 

" living on set I have learned from so many wonderful artists I want to thank Zack Synder @cruelfilms and @wfmft for starting my Leica obsession " ---> some might remember the first batman pictures that were taken with the Monochrom by Zach Snyder.

Momoa owns or at least shows off a broad range of (older) Leicas - which he would probably not have gotten from Leica -- although the Cine lenses and the newer cameras might have been thrown in for exposure ;)

Still doesn't look like he's in it for the money.

I read an article that said his mum got him into Leica... Yeah he's passionate about them and doesn't have anything to do with money.
