I remember reading about a guy doing album covers (remember those) who always hired a 16mm film team to shoot him shooting. Can't get no excitement without that. Video doesn't cut it. A photoshoot must be an event. But I really don't think there is anything half assed looking about a Black Leica M6 and a Winder M and a 90 or 135 lens on it. The viewer on the hotshoe really makes the thing look impressive. Or a low slug mets flash. Or one on a TTL cord. Plenty of sizzle in that little design package. A little awesome. I don't anticipate having to apologize much in the years to come. Mark Rabiner
