Re: leica on tv and record covers

Hello all,

I've just joined the list and planned to lurk for a bit, but I had to say
that I think the LP in question may be Highway 61 Revisited. Dylan isn't
actually holding the camera but just sitting there in a rather lurid shirt.
However, behind him (and visible from waist to ankles) is someone who is
dangling a camera by its strap which (at first sight) looks to be an M3. I
don't think it is, though...

As for supermodels, I seem to remember a photo-feature from about a year
ago on models who take piccies and one of them (I think it was Brinkley)
had an M6 around her neck as she breezed through an airport.

Cheers, Mike
