The body made from the finest precious woods, hand carved and assembled by craftsmen trained using techniques and tools going back to the Middle Ages, with faux médiéval decorative panels painted in the style of Burne-Jones and quotes from Chaucer cut in Morris' own Kelmscott type, called Tory. The lens would be of similar construction, with a stained glass front element. Nowhere would a red dot be used - that Leica would save for the Constructivist M6, which would be done Lissitzky-style.
