[Leica] Leica is now selling pre-brassed cameras so every couch potato can look like a badass journalist

[Leopold Green]

oh that is tacky... I don't quite understand Leica's fascination with third rate pop stars - I'm sure there must be many more interesting musicians who use Leica than Seal or Mr Kravitz? For instance there is a new German biography of the great Austrian film maker Michael Haneke holding a Leica on the cover but I don't suppose he would want his name on one of these amusement arcade editions... still the "Benny's Video" edition preloaded with faux VHS looking video of a cow being slaughtered could well find a different market for them
