[Leica] Hermes edition

[ricc at embarqmail.com (Ric Carter)]

i am sure jay is right on the perspective

but, did any of you actually look past the colors of the camera an see the 
shape-it's different.

Excuse my dumb ass if they've always beendifferent and i did not notice

i never heard of hermes and still don't care who the hell they are

the camera is a superior piece of metalwork  with superior esthetics to the 
other bodies
(to me)
