Errr... how much is a Leica M7?? How much is that lens? How much are you trying to save??

The logic eludes me greatly... Someone explain it to me.. I have cognitive dissonance..

Albert,
They're obviously taking heed to at least some of my tips here:

If they'd dump the Leitz primes and go for the cheapest, mondo, third-party 10X cyclops zoom lenses, all would be right in the world.

More seriously, it's called the "neck jewelry" of a "conspicuous consumer." Casual observers around them cannot tell what film is being used; it's hidden inside the camera, but the Leica logo on the camera body leaps out as a bright red flashing neon sign.
