[Leica] RE: those movies

[Jim Brick <jimbrick@photoaccess.com>]

I'm happy for all of you. I haven't seen any of these movies. Basically, no
desire. And after reading all of these posts, I don't suppose I'll ever see
them, unless at 35 thousand feet over the Atlantic. And then, I may sleep
instead.

Does Leica make MP cameras or lenses? Now if they were filmed with a
Summicron, I might give it a thought.  :)
