Truth be told I can only speak good things about Leica, people who work at Leica and for Leica. This critique is out of respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/leica-camera.com\">Leica Website now<\/a>; and it feels really lame. Why?

I have never heard of these folks. Perhaps they are uber-rich in some sort of avant-garde circles; whether Silicon Valley, Hong Kong finance, architecture, or places I don&#8217;t know. None of these names are weighty. The sense I get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If you are a rich professional, buy our products. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certainly the marketing is geared towards rich dudes. Either rich Silicon Valley folks, rich entrepreneurs, rich doctors\/lawyers\/dentists, or rich finance folks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make Leica cool again?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truth be told I am a Leica fanboy for life. Why? Apex quality, craftsmanship and durability.

We buy products because they are sexy.
