oh that is tacky... I don't quite understand Leica's fascination with third 
rate pop stars - I'm sure there must be many more interesting musicians who 
use Leica than Seal or Mr Kravitz? For instance there is a new German 
biography of the great Austrian film maker Michael Haneke holding a Leica on 
the cover but I don't suppose he would want his name on one of these 
amusement arcade editions... still the "Benny's Video" edition preloaded 
with faux VHS looking video of a cow being slaughtered could well find a 
different market for them
