"Leica also revealed that it has already sold more than 1500 M9-P cameras, which was announced yesterday. "We have another 1500 being produced now," says Schopf. And, on another note..... "Kaufmann has also revealed that he plans to launch, later this year, a new company that will be tasked with the publication of photobooks. The company, which will act as an intermediary between Leica and photographers, will feature the work of famous, as well as unknow Leica photographers. Kaufmann hinted that the first book could come in the Autumn featuring Seal's photography. The English singer is renowned for being a Leica ambassador." They couldn't come up with an extant professional photographer to do this with? Goug? Dr. Ted? A few dozen others of renown? More marketing shenanigans....
