[Leica] "Fogg, Plastic or Paper " with your groceries??

[Edward Caliguri <caliguri@rcn.com>]

GREAT point John !! -- Hey, look --- I love my little Fogg "Lyre" as it's
called -- so it's $225.00 --- I love my M Classic at $135.00 ... Big deal?
Why do Leica users always want to dump on someone who likes a certain bag?
It's almost as if they are making up for some guilty feeling.
    I saw a nicely dressed gentleman of about 50 years old in Stockbridge MA
last summer, with a 20 something wife. Very nice couple -- started talking
them because they each had a largish Fogg Bag. Immediately, when I asked,
"So who has what Leica in their bag?" They both got very defensive. "She
wanted the bag" he said, while she insisted "He wanted the camera!" - and
that ended that. Jeesh - what a way to end a nice conversation on where and
what to see in western Massachusetts! A Bag's a Bag - ya use what ya like,
man! But ... I knew somebody would dump on me because of it :-)
