Subject: [Leica] Hasselblad Trumps Leica

Sad, but true, cousins.

Hasselblad has trumped Leica's 31,000 dollar, VW-designed, titanium M9 with 
its Ferrari Limited Edition H4D.

No word on pricing.

(And, no, this is not from the Onion.):

(PS  I don't honestly think that Leica has been trumped.  The Hassy's red 
paint and a glued-on prancing horse are a tacky combination.  At least 
Walter de Silva's M9 is pretty.)
