It is graphically wonderful. But that's all it is - a graphic designer and a pedantic writer showing off. It's a campaign designed to turn the Leica M into the Rolex of photography, an expensive status symbol that one will need to display to be "with it." If this is an example of the new management at its marketing best, buy your M equipment while you can, because it's not going to be with us for terribly much longer. Great looking brochure, though. ;-) >> One more "bean counter" in charge of a precision manufacturing concern?
