Good Day!!!

Just came from the Leica camera homepage, and, the New "M" camera will be
a combination of technologies from their newly acquired Minox engineers.

It will be called the Leica M Minimum mumbo, and use the 8X11 format of
Minox fame, and won't have an optical lens at all, but rather will use
the pinhole/proxar design so recently developed by Peter John White and
myself, in a zoom mount.

This new optic is called the peepee, from its initials.

The camera closely resembles a ploot reflex housing with a bellows I and
400mm Telyt attached.

"Sincerely"--ahem ahem,
