I always tend to think of Leica as the Ferrari of cameras. Back in the small Italian town where I lived as a child, we had a neighbour with a great collection of Ferraris in his garage. He used to pick one out every Sunday morning and drive to the local kiosk to buy a newspaper. I made the connection a few years ago when I visited a family friend’s cottage and saw his huge collection of photographic equipment. Naturally, there was an abundance of Leica models and rarities only a collector would buy. It was fascinating to see, but at the same time, I couldn’t help but think: when was the last time these wonderful cameras were used?
