Check out this from the 1997 LUG Regards, SonC Sonny Carter Subject: Stealth Cammo M6 From: George Huczek <ghuczek@eagle.wbm.ca> Date: Thu, 12 Jun 1997 07:28:37 -0600 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---- To be as inconspicuous as possible on the street, you can use a recently announced, limited edition of the camouflaged Leica M6 Stealth Cammo. It has a titanium body, a slender black 35mm Summicron, and a mod green-yellow filter (in a chrome ring of course). Collectors will drool over the special engraving of the words "Stealth Cammo" on the camera's top plate. When tucked inside an old paisley shirt from the 60s, this camera is almost impossible to spot. Commemmorates the 25th anniversary of the Sony and Cher hit, "I Got You Babe." Comes in a handsome teak presentation case with a stylish gold latch. Only 500 copies will be made available. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "B. D.
