I think the M and R systems have been used as jewelry more than with the S system is ever going to be. you're not going to see any Safari S's. No Panda's. No commemorative. The S system will be handled by people who are going for an excellent graphic result. They wont be worn like jewelry. Carl Lagerfeld will use one. So will Steven Maisel; And if she can scrape up the cash Annie Liebowitz. So they'll probably sell three. They have as much panache as a hand held surface to air missile launcher. Maybe Carl Lagerfeld will design a special jacket which make the S camera look good hanging off his shoulder. And a strap. I have to tell you holding one in ones hand puts a gleam in ones eye. I almost took out a chandelier at Bergdorf's. But the battery was half dead. Mark William Rabiner
