Recent research has shown that it is possible to create a camera body out of anti-matter and that such a body will have negative mass and size. The new Leica M-n series cameras are lovingly hand-assembled from an anti-matter brasslike metal and when added to a camera bag will make it weigh less and create extra room for further equipment. Although cost will obviously be a factor, by the addition of further Leica M-n bodies it will thus be possible to add equipment to one's camera bag indefinitely. The M-n will have left-brain-linked exposure control available with electrode headset and decisive moment brainstem trigger synchrosurgery template. The negative mass means the camera will be inclined to float above ones' head so a special Leica M-n camera harness is advisable. Finishes will be black, chrome and titanium as usual (with some in blue leather trim for those more discerning customers) but since the camera is invisible this will not be of much importance and one will have to trust the salesman as to what colour it is. No manual equivalent model is envisaged at present. - -- JB
