More people know who Che was than you think! And of late, a resurgence in popularity and interest. I think the image of Che works well with Leica's "revolution" campaign. If you're new to Leica, and happen to be looking at this brochure, chances are you don't even know who HCB and family is yet. But Leica assures you'll soon learn...then you become interested...then you become obsessed with M cameras and lenses...then LUG! A hopeless, out-of -control downward spiral ! Cheers, Arturo
