Subject: [Leica] Hullo. Leica R Solution - now in video

>From what I can quickly search engine Omar Pirela Neuman is a 3D Designer.
What that may mean is that he can make anything he wants appear to be real
as he knows how to use the 3d imaging animated software he already owns and
uses everyday to make a real cartoon out of any whim of the imagination.
Campbell's soup cans which open themselves!
Yes now Leica knows that an R10 COULD exist!
Yes Leica KNEW that an R10 COULD exist last month and last year.
No This I don't think is going to inspire them.
That an R10 could exist is not the point. The point is twelve people would
buy them at what they would have to cost.
Leica does not care to make a camera for those twelve people. They just
don't have that luxury. Not even the third richest man in Europe can throw
that kind of money away. And I doubt he cares to be shown what it should
like like by 3D Designers not in the field of camera design.  Its like
desktop publishing taken too far. It bad enough we had bad brochures put
together by non professionals. Now we have bad everything else literally
jumping off the page.
I'm glad when Elvis died there were no 3D designer PJ's or we'd have footage
of his marriage to Marilyn Monroe on the moon. This wedding according to
most the tabloids took place about six months after the funeral.
People just could not accept the death of the king.
And why should they?  We hear him on the radio every day.
But right now anybody wanting to do excellent photography with R glass
easily can with an adaptor and a Nikon camera. Their investment holds solid.
And the pictures come out perfectly as can be easily found in the LUG
gallery. Even in Earths atmosphere.
