Subject: Leica M7 introduction

Greetings,

My sources tell me that Leitz has developed an electromegnetic 
compression algorithym that in effect causes a shift in the 
wavelength of visible light into the ultraviolet spectrum. These 
higher frequencies, (shorter wavelengths), fit into a smaller area 
allowing for the use of smaller lenses and film.

The new M7 will use Super 8 film and will be the size of a credit 
card. A new series of lenses will be intrduced, from 11mm to 46mm 
focal lengths. It should be on dealers shelves any day now.

The M8 is already on the drawing board. Further advances in 
electromagnetic compression algorithyms will reduce the size of the 
camera to a grain of rice, making it difficult for a potential thief 
to even see, let alone steal. This, however does make the camera 
easier to lose, somewhat negating the previously mentioned advantage.

You read it here first.

P.S. I have to go now. I have a doctor's appointment. He says he's 
going to change my medication. I'm so, tired...
