1. It was imperative that I spend more than $6,000 on a new 35mm rangefinder camera with a 50mm f/1.4 lens that the manufacturer patronizingly called a "Starter Set."
2. I buy all my photographic hard goods at the Hermes Boutique and it was the only camera the retailer had for sale.
3. Take photographs with a camera that doesn't have Ralph Gibson's signature stenciled on it? That's crazy talk.
4. With the German unemployment rate over 12%, if Leica goes out of business, the German economy will resemble the Weimar Republic.
5. Nikon SP replica cameras just aren't pretentious enough.
6. It was the only camera I could have custom-covered in elephant penis skin.
7. The shutters of other cameras are too loud- they hurt my ears.
8. You haven't lived until you've partied with the Leica Historical Society of America, and they wouldn't let me in the door at meetings carrying a Pentax K1000.
9. I wanted a "Hammertone" camera with a gray, lead-like finish that appeared to have sustained severe hail damage.
10. Carrying a Leica, I bag more pelt than Sinatra in Vegas.
Yeah, I still lust after one. Thanks to you, I'm longingly looking at them on ebay again. 2. I buy all my photographic hard goods at the Hermes Boutique and it was the only camera the retailer had for sale.

You wouldn't say that if you were a female elephant photographer, now would you?

This one should be much higher than 10. Heck when I was toting my old Pentax ME around I thought I was a Playboy photographer. Only trouble was I couldn't convince the ladies I was.
