albertwang Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share #23 Posted August 15, 2006 Ooops, my bad. I guess that it's kinda hard to tell with the avatar and all that On the other hand, it is definitely a known fact that a lot of camera attract women but getting the pretty ones could be another story.

Micheal Posted August 15, 2006 Share #24 Posted August 15, 2006 To all, Not to rain on anyones parade but this slightly reminds me of early notebook computers & the associated, hypothetical, masculinity of pulling out your Powerbook in a coffee house. At least here in the USSR. Sincerely, Michael Dickey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to any railwaystation parkinglot and wave a 20 $ or € out of your car window and you'll get all the attention you crave for ... so much easier you know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micheal Posted August 15, 2006 Share #28 Posted August 15, 2006 Albert, ps. It is a reference to the USA. Too young to relate or limited to classical music? Michaela is on the mark. Sincerely, Michael Dickey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgcd Posted August 16, 2006 Share #29 Posted August 16, 2006 I don't know about Leicas attracting women, if anything women complain about "boys and their toys". If there is an attraction it's probably that those ladies are also photographers and want the Leica and not you. However, Bill H. once convinced me that I needed a wife/girlfriend in order to carry my 180mm f/2 Apo-Summicron R due to its bulk and weight. Frankly, I'm not sure that works either...

albertwang Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share #30 Posted August 16, 2006 Sorry but I'm actually not a big Beatles fan... My music has been stuck in Paleolithic era. Actually my favorite rock band is Steely Dan so I only get Rikki's phone number... Okay, I may be young (30 years in Oct.) but hey, I listen to jazz mostly. Hank Mobley to Ramsey Lewis.

gberger Posted August 16, 2006 Share #34 Posted August 16, 2006 My spouse was an accomplished amateur photographer before we met. Now, 37 years later, she demands priority on our M7 and CM - - relegating me to our M4. Yeah, then she wants her slides to take priority in the projection routine. I'm reminded of a signature that someone used to put on his e-mail, viz.: "Women and Cats will do as they please Men and dogs just have to get used to the idea."

kodaktrix Posted August 17, 2006 Share #36 Posted August 17, 2006 Last Saturday I attracted the attention of a younger lady in a bookstore. Although we just talked about this and that, the store was crowded and my wife was also around, the atmosphere was quite intimate (I have never looked to such green eyes before). I must confess that I had my M2 with me, but in a belt pocket - does that count too? :-)) Best regards Oliver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicanewbie Posted August 17, 2006 Share #37 Posted August 17, 2006 I had the exact same experience. Though I keep asking myself, was it because I was carrying my Leica, or was it the fact that I was getting it from the passenger seat of my Ferrari Enzo ?

albertwang Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share #38 Posted August 17, 2006 Enzo? Hmm... that's rather interesting. Of course, having both is a double edged sword you know? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted August 17, 2006 Share #39 Posted August 17, 2006 If my Leica begins to attract high school girls, I will surely be arrested. But, what about the reverse? Would guys be attracted to a woman with a Leica around her neck? It would certainly get an approach from me. Albert--Your comment about the 90mm reminds me of the time I was shooting a football game. It was half-time and I was standing near the fence that keeps spectators off the field. I was holding a Nikon with a 600 f/4 attached and a very beautiful young woman came up to me and said, "My you have a BIG.............lens. How BIG is your.......lens?" Left me speechless. Fortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micheal Posted August 17, 2006 Share #40 Posted August 17, 2006 Albert, I didn't intend my comment to be mean spirited. I have a lot of respect for jazz and was what I listened to at one time. Then around '69, '70 there was a tremedious shift starting with the Paul Butterfield blues band, & "Its only Rock & Roll but I love it, love it, yes I do" Mick Jagger. Have never looked back.
