    I was back in NYC for only a weekend. I needed to have my 28 Summicron-M sent out for repair. I noted that the Leica Soho store was closed. This was on Saturday 16 March. I looked online and found this 'new to me' store. I was fortunate to have Rob greet me and help me with my repair. I was double-barreled when I walked in. I was carrying my M10-R and SL2. The SL2 was new to me - two weeks and only three days of actual shooting. I had some questions that reading the manual may have answered but he was so patient in explaining the camera and how it would work best considering my previous shooting style with autofocus. He was so professional and friendly and you could sense his passion of photography. The place looks large but put a few photographers and the space becomes small. But it did not feel crowded but more like friends hanging out at a get together. I also got to meet Vincent (fellow double watch wearer) and Roland - brand ambassadors. Equally as awesome as Rob. I only bought a spare SL2 battery. I talked of camera straps. Never felt the pressure of buying there or even Leica. I toured the place - except for the VIP area and would love to go back and spend more time. All in all, as you state, a wonderful warm experience.

      I’m so glad that you were able to experience firsthand what we talked about in the video. Rob and Vincent are awesome. We in LA will miss them! (They transferred from the LA store). If you remember Rob saying in the video, he’s looking to build a community, not to sell cameras. That’s definitely obvious in our every interaction with them. We are so excited for them! 😊

    Very interesting. As always. Obviously a house of temptation, but worth it. If i was in New York, I would buy a shiny chrome M-A from them, and cosset it like a first born, raising it to the sky like in The Lion King.

      TBH, no one needs a specific brand of camera. The best camera is the one you have in your hand when you need it the most. But some of us prefer specific brands, and some brands create stronger communities than others. That is what Leica is to me. You seem to have been offended by the Leica brand, seeing that you've left many comments on my videos. I'm sorry that's been your experience. I hope you can try to get to know some Leica shooters and get to know the community. You might be pleasantly surprised 🙂

    Not sure how to feel about a store with $9000 cameras starting their video next to a homeless person laying next to their store. Have we really become so desensitized?

    • @NoctiGirl
      @NoctiGirl  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If you are talking about the boxes behind me, those were moving boxes from the store setting up and getting ready for the opening. But we all see what we want to see. Even if it was a homeless person there, I still don't feel bad about it. For years I've volunteered and donated to various homeless shelters and animal rescue organizations. I've served food to the homeless every Thanksgiving for over a decade. I can tell you that some people choose to be homeless.

      The problem with our society is not that it's become desensitized to homeless people or the less fortunate; rather, it's that it has become so judgmental. People who can afford to buy Leicas can also be nice people who contribute to the society.
