And Leica being the esoteric way to jazz up that pop camera with an top lens from Germany. IF there is a better way to expose Leica to the mass sceptical public than this (and the Konica media might) I'd like to know what that is. Let Konica get the masses into the idea of Rangefinder photography and a solid percentage of them will move on to Leica. That is the idea isn't it? Mark Rabiner
