[Leica] Leica marketing tour - for this guy it's madness

hahahahahaha.
So it's THAT kind of stupidity that Leica is banking on. Goodness
gracious. If I really want to see an M9, I can find one or two in the
hands of a few people in Philly. or I can paint up my M4 for a day, add
some gaffer tape for additional thickness, an LCD protector with a
superslide underneath taped to the back door. My M9.4 would have cost
me less than $10USD.
