Nothing beats taking photos with a Leica. A Leica may cost a great deal, but the photos you take with it are valuable too.

Street photographer Samuel Lintaro Hopf made a video in which he runs through these and other strange things Leica users say.

The video should not be taken too seriously. It is meant as a joke and should be watched as such. In its own way, it also shows that you should not exaggerate when talking about your camera or camera brand. That happens a lot, and not just with Leica.

In the end, the most important thing is that you enjoy photography and enjoy using your camera. Whether that enjoyable use is with a Leica, a Fujifilm, a Sony or any other brand does not matter.

Leica is good, is fine but you can take perfectly good photos with any professional camera. The most important thing is and remains good glass. I myself have been working with Nikon for an incredibly long time and am extremely satisfied with it. If I ever switched, I would consider Leica but it would probably end up being a Hasselblad after all.

Analog opinions about Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Sony, Hasselblad, ... .
Once stuck with a brand, few are still able to escape it ... and admit that another (especially newer and cheaper) brand might perhaps be just as good or better than what they have in their hands.

I took photos with a Leica. I really liked it. So this video is nothing more than a joke. You could also make one about Sony... or Nikon... or Fujifilm...

Nice and funny video. I have a small arsenal of Leicas (SL2, Q, CL, M10). My GP says I suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. A condition that suits me perfectly. Nice Feel Good feeling without reason for way too much money. Love it......
