This recent commercial promoting tourism
<http://www.jreast.co.jp/ikuze/?src=009> to the Tohoku region
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%8Dhoku_region> of Japan features a
humorously sweet (and accurate) take on Japanese camera culture as a group
of older male digital shooters enjoy the unexpected appearance of a young
woman with a vintage Leica M4 and a 90mm f2.8 Elmarit lens.  Indeed, this
30 second short story needs no subtitles. Enjoy!

Note: Japanese commercials traditonally end with a punchline called an
*ochi*

the *ochi* of this film is the woman exclaiming ?*His head got in the 
frame*.?
after snapping the shutter.
