The M7 is sleek, sexy, dare I say cute even(that cost me 5 solid “Man” points). UNTIL NOW…!
Yup now without a doubt we must add to the list of descriptive Leica adjectives words like Ugly, Obnoxious, Loud and Eww… Hermes, a French brand, generally associated with all things high quality and pretty, has tossed pretty out the window and partnered with Leica to ruin a good thing.
Seriously, don’t Leica owners constantly tell us that the legendary Leica stealth is one of their favorite features. Kinda hard to be a photo ninja when you’re wearing a $14,000 hunter safety orange camera around your neck.
What were they thinking?

I think they’re on to something. Wouldn’t it be great if every Uncle Bob with a $4K camera that he only knows how to use in auto mode had his equipment jacketed in hunter orange for the safety of all those around him?

Yeah but I bet’ya that chunk of metal can stop a bullet!
I had a M7, it was an awesome camera, now I have the M8. I’ve never in real life seen a single photographer who had the designer enhancements Leica offered before (snakeskin style, weird patterns, etc.), and I hope never to, either.
I can just see Uncle Bob with his whole oranged out M7 and matching outfit now asking me for help at my next wedding cause we’re both Leica shooters. LOL.
