I'm sure they jacked the car up and slowly lowered it until there was some pressure on tire and camera, then took the picture. Actually it's no big deal for any camera, the car is still on the jack and the camera really isn't taking the complete pressure as in, "drive the car on top of the R8 or Nikon or Canon or whatever, it'll look like a strong well made camera! It's something like standing on an SL or M body, it can be done and no damage, as there is a big difference between just standing and jumping on. I see this kind of mickey mouse promotion as nonsense! It doesn't prove anything other than the editors of LFI aren't too bright at picking the images to illustrate the best of a Leica! ted >>>One of the pictures is of a Porsche with one of its wheels standing ON >>>TOP of an R8. This to prove that the camera is solidly built (one of the >>>Italian Leica salespeople who was on the trip had bragged about this, so >>>he had to prove his point). > >........photoshop????? > > > >Best regards, > Harrison mailto:mcclary@iname.com >http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto >preview my book: http://www.volmania.com Ted Grant This is Our Work.
