The camera, was a Chrome Leica M. The camera segment was very brief, but long enough that they appeared to be chimping. It struck me as lack of continuity, but maybe it was an M8! Sure looked like an M6, though. I thought someone else might have seen the ad and mentioned it. (Certainly I'm not the only one that fits the demographic). :-) I've only seen the commercial once, though. daveR Larry wrote: >>My favorite camera repair person, Sherry Krauter, told me that Leica owners are aging as fast as their cameras. The proportion of young people who own Leicas is insignificant compared to the legion of nostalgic old farts who hang on to their cameras and lenses.<<
