I'm interested in undertaking a trip to the Philippines or Africa in the next year or so.
I have a Nikon D5 and am considering the purchase of a Leica X-U.
I'm curious to know how much of a risk there is of theft of very expensive cameras if you take them on trips to lower income countries. It seems like the more adventurous among us take them pretty much anywhere, even to places where the cost of a Leica X-U or Q represents more than the annual income of most people you will meet.
Do people who live in low-income countries tend to know how expensive and desirable Leica cameras are, or are there so few of them (and therefore little knowledge of them) that you are relatively safe?
Does anyone have stories/info?
