I Have a short Quicktime VR film of a Leica M6 turning 360deg on a
turntable.  It is amazingly sharp, and you can rotate the camera to any
angle you want.   It woud make a great ad for the camera.   I downloaded it
from someones's web page, unfortunately I can't remember where or whose.
I'd be tempted to put a copy on my web page, but I don't want to infringe on
the owner's copyright.  I will try a search and see if I can retrace my
steps.  The file is called M6-100.MOV, for those interested in searching for it.
