WOW is right, it's an impressive piece of work. My only complaint (you
*knew* I'd have one, right?) is that like so many other marketing
campaigns, they keep trying to impress me with how great the style of
being a Leica M photographer is by telling me how wonderful the style is.
If that sounds a little self-congratulatory and redundant to you, well,
you get my drift.

Tell me how fantastic the camera is, show me the camera, and exhibit the
style such that I will be impressed with it ... don't tell me how the
style is so wonderful because the style is wonderful.

Otherwise, I like the brochure. Some very nice photography and graphic
work in there.
