Subject: [Leica] first prize: Leica both ways

One of the monthly German photo magazines had its readers select the best
camera for the last 50 years (or something like that). There were a number
of prizes to be won by the participants (I think irrespective of if they
had choosen the 'winning' camera or not) and the first prize was an M6 with
a tri-focal lens, all in some sort of large wooden box.

The result have just been published and the Leica M6 received far more
votes than any other camera. There was a picture of the winner in the
magazines and he was quoted to say that he would put the camera in the
safe. He did not say where he was going to put the box.
