Subject: [Leica] The ultimate advert

Whilst driving through my home town (Southampton) yesterday afternoon I 
noticed a new cruise liner coming into dock complete with fire tugs playing 
fountains etc. It had a black hull and a silvery upper section. So what, you 
may ask! When I checked on its name in the paper last night it is named 'R8'. 
This is the first time I have ever known a cruise liner with such a name 
(usually 'Monarch of the Seas' or similar are more common). Is this the 
ultimate promotional activity from Leica? I hope to go down today and get a 
photo of it for my Leica 'collection'.
