The ShiTE Heads there eat this shit up. They absorb all this guy says and take it seriously with their worship. Just like a certain percentage of the population that wears red caps to our Nazi President.

It’s shocking to see how self centered the post is, even by Steve’s usual standards. A regular bragging asshole would have started by telling that you can get your hands on some older Nikon equipment for a bargain, and that the pictures will look great, but Leitz has remained pricey and much looked after, like his own Leica system.
Not with a sociopath such as Steve. He will start with considerations about his own investment, which was the best idea ever, as it’s gained value while other cameras would plummet, and that it shows how bright, lucky and wealthy he is and deserves to be.
Not pictured: the great pictures he’s supposed to have taken with such an equipment for 15 years.

I used to follow a whole group of toy camera photographers. They took the most incredible pictures with plastic toy cameras.
It’s not the cost of the camera, Steve-o. It’s the eye of the photographer.

That he doesn't post his own pictures speaks volumes.
(except that crappy one of his wife of course)

Leica is exactly the brand of camera someone who would mention their Rolex for no particular reason would own. I’ve never met a professional photographer who shot Leica (at least not exclusively or as a main camera) but I have met rich assholes who shot vacation pictures of the wifey with one. Of course STeVE owns Leica. That’s exactly the camera a STeVE would own.

Right, and as someone who is a somewhat pro (I sell photos and have had some published with journal articles on petroglyphs), I rely on a Sony A-58 that I picked up for $600. I'm not dragging some pretentious piece of shit out into the middle of Death valley with me, nor am I ever going to spend that much money on a fucking status symbol.

I have a Sony mirrorless that I absolutely love. If you're not a pro, you have no business spending more than $1K on a camera.

You spent all that money on a camera to take family pics? Idiot.

This was taken with a crappy plastic Holga. I think I spent $50 on it?
