My dad gave me his DSLR but I would never look at the photos I took or cared for it.

Now that the number of photos I can take are limited I can’t wait to develop those photos and actually feel it.

    Part of it is that they’re (mostly) very precisely machined fully mechanical cameras.
    Part of it is, that there is a selection of some of the highest quality lenses available for the cameras.
    But to an extent you also just pay for the name.

    There are tons of cameras that cost a tiny fraction of a Leica but work just as well and have their own selection of tack sharp lenses.
    You wouldn’t notice a difference in the results without a direct comparison.
