You may have something there. Leica could give them away to luxury car
companies with a 50 Summicron, or the 35-70 for cost, and the car company
has a premium to make their car look even better. The owner takes pictures
of his new car with the free roll of Velvia in the camera, and when the
pictures come back, he's sold on Leicas as well as Mercedes! Great idea!
