Aussies will be able to see a Leica used expertly by a German
Industrialist in a movie titled 'A 
Girl Called RoseMarie' this Friday night on SBS.  Yes, it is a typical
SBS movie ..... quite watch-able. If one wants to ID the camera, taping
the movie will help. It's pulled out of a pocket, lens is extended,
shutter speed set, then one frame shot - all very quickly.  Very authentic.
