call her Deep Thambar) that as a final commemoration of this 90th
anniversary year, Leica will be issuing a limited edition of digital Ms
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.

>> Early image-loaded cameras (especially pre-WWII or those with wartime
images) are expected to be in hot demand.

>> The cameras will be sold body only -- no lensmount affixed.
