Subject: New Leica M body constructed from antimatter

Contrary to recent reports claiming that the new Leica M body would
merely make use of existing miniaturisation technology, in reality the
new Leica M body uses technology more radical by far. 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.
