So far I´ve seen Leicas mostly in the hands of rich Japanese tourists (typically men about 50-60 years old).

Of course. obviously you do not come across professional photographers/artists a lot. Neither do I. I also do not run into famous writers a lot, or great painters. Or world class architects. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />



As for the age, that is the same with expensive watches, expensive cars, even expensive women. One needs some time to gather a fortune. And young people who find themselves rich usually have so-so taste (footballers come to mind) <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />
