That's a great homage - very transparent: you should be able to see the 
sensor rot as it happens.
I can think of other Ms that deserve the glass icon treatment more 
deservingly, rather than enshrining Leica's major design flaw. Then, to 
even more "enhance" their reputation, they clapped spurs to that 
particular horse and galloped off over the horizon leaving the mess to 
be cleaned up by Kolari for about $1k. You could almost hear "So long, 
suckers!" in a German accent floating back through cyberspace...

It's almost like putting a 3/4 size glass replica of Putin on the 
market. Hey, but wait!, in a dystopian Trumpian world, maybe those would 
shift if endorsed by a well known Mar-a-Lago (P)resident.
