The Best Valentine’s Gift For A Photographer
Want to buy your beloved photographer a gift more decadent than a box of chocolates?
Here’s a camera that every serious shutter bug would love to own, no matter how many professional DSLR cameras or gadgets they already own.
There’s something about (well there are lots of something’s, really) the Leica name that brings out the longing in every photographer. Maybe it’s the stellar optics of a Leicia, or maybe it’s the rich photographic history they symbolize.
Leicas have been used by many famous photographers, including names your beloved shutterbug will recognize like:
Diane Arbus
Alfred Eisenstadt
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Of course, love doesn’t come cheap. A Leica D-Lux 4 Digital Camera will cost you $700 -1,000. And it will look like a regular digital point and shoot camera.
But, oh… it can do so much more…. And it has that wonderful red dot that will make your photographer the envy of all their peers.
You’ll be the tops on your valentine’s heart.
