Very true.

Even though Japanese dealers probably buy more used Leicas than all
other groups combined in the American market, they laugh at these
forgettable commemoratives.   Just mention these cameras, and  you will
usually get  a roll of the eyes and the biggest grin you ever saw.

.Its difficult to know who to  pity the most:  Leica for having to
prostitute itself like this, or the collectors who  got conned into
buying it.
