(Jan, Feb, March?) They also showed the flash..... They had a paragraph on it or so. As Jim pointed out, the advance knob was huge compared to the rest of the camera.... As I remember it seemed to double the height of the camera... If it wasn't for that... it would be a cool little camera.

It is in fact made by a Japanese company as Jim Brick has said, but I don't think that was the name of the company in the Leica release to dealers. It is in fact a camera...but not a 35mm one for sure! I would agree that it might be called a "toy" but a fun toy at that... Really, I am not supposed to talk about it...but I figure some limited info. is better than a lot of mis-info. I hope Leica agrees with me and I'm sure I'll find out.
