And I bet it will sell out within days!! To quote the Michael Johnston:

That's right. It's a special limited-edition pre-brassed Leica, with a name
calculated to taunt every actual photojournalist who has ever actually used
a Leica hard enough to put real wear on it. (Especially those of them who
are now out of work.)

As for the, um--*aaack!*--designer: "Lenny Kravitz is famous around the world
as an exceptional and very successful musician. But he treats photography
with his Leica with exactly the same passion."

*Translations:*
*"Exceptional and very successful musician."* Did one of the best-ever
covers of The Guess Who's "American Woman."

*"Exactly the same passion."* Steals classic-rock guitar riffs then
proclaims rock and roll is dead.
