J if my Irene were still here with me should have re-acted just as similar as your wife! Both in relation to camera, models and most certainly the testosterone! J cheers, ted -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Howard Ritter Sent: December-08-15 7:31 PM To: Leica Users Group; MUGers at yahoogroups.com Subject: [Leica] M Sighting--Victoria's Secret Leica! Just before turning off the TV after the preview of next week?s ?NCIS New Orleans? (yes, that is the actual reason that I caught this!), I saw the first few seconds of the Victoria?s Secret TV special on CBS. For a fraction of a second, there was a (staged, I?m sure) scene of what purported to be The Press Breathless With Excitement. There was the obligatory fellow with the Scary Big Nikon and, in the left foreground, a highly decorative young lady with a demure M6 in front of her face (since it was a film camera I know it was staged). From the position of the preview lever and the appearance of the lens, I think it was a 35mm ?cron. Maybe ?lux. The scene appeared for only a fraction of a second, I think, but my recognition circuitry flashed ?LEICA ALERT!?, though I had to rewind and pause for a longer look to identify the model (of the camera!). My wife, watching all this, was dumbfounded that in that brief glimpse casually seen I was able to recognize the camera as a Leica. (She said the camera is not what I was supposed to be looking at.) I explained that in my sixth decade of Leica-ing, the Leica M ?gestalt? is so imprinted in my brain that nothing escapes my notice. As with all of us. She wants me to have my testosterone level checked. ?howard _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
