RFF got a shout-out! Nice 
We need to bring more celebrities into the fold, especially if they shoot film. Keep it alive and in the public eye! Who knows, for all we know Brad Pitt, Elijah Wood, Seal, John Mayer, Brendan Fraser, etc etc already post here anonymously...

I think rangefinderforum just hit the big time. It was like we were Wired magazine. Don't be so sure Audrey isn't already here. BTW, Audrey, I'd be happy to lend you one of my 25s if you like.

Mr. Mayer’s post inspired a spirited dialogue about Leica chic among celebrities on rangefinderforum.com, an enthusiast’s site. “If Paris Hilton is packing a DLux does that mean I’ll have to dump my trusty carry-everywhere lest I be labeled a fashionista?” wrote one commenter, in reference to another Leica model.

So, confess, who said this?

Like the article. They did correct it.
"A previous version of this article was accompanied by a picture of Emmy Rossum holding what was incorrectly identified as a Leica rangefinder. It was, in fact, a Fuji digital camera whose design was inspired by classic rangefinders such as the Leica."

By all means, no.
But this will encourage the Leica haters, and those of us who do use Leicas as they're supposed to will now be tagged as snobs, celeb wannabees, and bling collectors--all over again. I hate these kind of articles.... |

My favorite  quote in the article, from John Mayer's blog:
“I’ve learned that the guessing — maybe the intuition — of the settings is what makes a photograph special,” he wrote."
Let's see if he can guess - maybe intuit - the exposure settings of some of history's more "special" photographs.

Yeah, sounds like he's using his M4 like a high-quality Holga.

I don't see the problem. They're owning/using Leicas for the same exact reasons 95% of people here are....and you know it.
