[Leica] Leica does not deem the M a professional system?

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

John,
It was black, with a red badge and white writing, but having looked at links 
for the 280/2.8 I got the impression that the one I saw at the GP had its 
badge further away from the camera up the barrel.

I now feel guilty for not taking a screenshot, as I appear to be an 
unreliable witness - shades of Twelve Angry Men...
