Good Morning Lugnuts,
Apologies in advance for this non-Leica-specific post, but thought
(some of) you might find the following interesting, in that we are
sometimes accused of being aficiandos of an anachronism:
In the current (6/16) issue of TIME, on the first page of
letters-to-the-editor (TIME does not number its pages) is an ad for Blue
Cross/Blue Shield (the middle of a sequence of three on successive
right-hand pages). It shows a man with a panicky expression, the
background suggesting the running of the bulls at Pamplona. His camera
is NOT the latest P&S, NOT an M6, NOT an R8, NOT even a Minilux,
but........... ta-da!........ a Kodak Pony 135. Hey! I bought my wife
one of those in the 50s!
Now why d'you think the ad agency did that?
