Well I've never gotten any respect when carrying my IIIC. However a very attractive young woman ran up to me to admire my Pentax
it was a MZ-3 with the 28-200 Tamaron re-badge on it. She though it looked Cool, especially since it was all silver with the big tulip hood.
Sheeish....

Peter, I've been using Leicas for a few years, and my experience runs counter to your 
suggestions other than camera
geeks fawning over the name.  The best that's ever happened was that a woman with a 
hairy back that came to pull the
crab grass from my lawn commented on how silly a fat old bald guy looked wearing Leica 
jewelry around his neck.
Admittedly, I never had so much attention when carrying a Pentax.

No but all the camera geeks will fawn over the name, (and you'll be a
much better photographer because your equipment costs so much...).
You'll also get all the girls, your hair will grow back, the crabgrass
will disappear from your lawn, etc. etc.
