doctrinal purity of France in the face of Protestantism and Jansenism.
Leica purists insist that a modern-day dévot accompany each camera sold, to
ensure the purity and correctness of its use.
This from the birthplace of Protestantism? What is the world coming to? Next

I'm confused by the term "divet". I presume this is a cross between divot and
duvet. So there's a lump of insulating turf on the back to give your thumb some comfort?
Sounds typically Leica but very high maintenance to me.
