That is a precision photographic tool. Looks like you have some nice lenses as well. I love my LTM lens assortment on both Canon & Leica bodies.

It's sort of like that other born on the wrong side of the sheets Leica the CL.

Some Leica glass and a Minotla body.

It seems your right. Is Leica still designing their own stuff? The article paints a home-made-home-designed-perfection picture, yet with Panasonic-made cameras with a rebranded icon on the body.... that's something I'd expect from Kodak or Sony.

Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism.

Of course Leica designs it's own equipment.

The M8 is the most resent.

When one speaks of Leica, one is really speaking of the M and R lines.
