Can we get a name change here?
      #778127 - 27/03/2009 06:51

'Leica camera chat' sounds, well, a little common really.
The LUF have 'Barnack's Bar' and we couldn't really have Leica Lounge as it would confuse the unenlightened but we need something with a little zing but also redolent of 'hallowed halls'
Red Dot room doesn't work either as so many cameras don't have it anyway .
Think on ladies and gentlemen..........

I think whatever you have, it will have to have Leica in the name, for obvious reasons.

Plus, I'm not sure TFC is into giving people a choice - it might be like the custom titles, in that you have to take what you're given. So ask for a change if you dare - but you might live to regret it!

Yeah, I can see it becoming something like Leica Loonies, or M-mount Mutterings - or something worse.

Just as long as we don't include the dread phrase "where the elite meet and greet" (or hurl, more likely hurl actually with that slogan!).

What - like the one you suggested some months ago (courtesy of your old boss) for a certain other camera board?

[I'd give a link, but it's in the mods' forum, and not accessible to non-mods.]

Found it. I was right.

Fen's Leica Laugh was one of the few printable offerings in that thread.

'Leicaphilia' sounds just yukky.
What is the collective for a group of Leicas?
