I purchased used cameras. I bought film cameras. I bought third party lenses. The system is easy to get into if you just go third party or used sometimes. Sure, there's that whole idea and pride with having the Leica badge on your camera. But if you're just passionate about the cameras and photography, then the badge won't mean a thing to you. Why you'd buy a Leica in the first place isn't all about the tech, it's instead all about you. .
