call her Deep Thambar) that as a final commemoration of this 90th

pre- loaded with 900 classic images which the owner will be free to print,
share or sell as if their own. Registering the camera upon purchase
establishes copyright.

the past 90 years. Leica has devoted a huge effort to sorting and
selecting appropriate ohotos covering the historic timespan of the marque.

pre-loaded cameras. The b&w versions are scheduled to sell for at least
10% more than the colour image loaded cameras.

images) are expected to be in hot demand.
