Just watched a SuperBowl commercial where a Lincoln ad features a "German student" holding a Leica IIIg chrome body that becomes a digital M (M9?) when he holds it up to take a picture.

He was using a film rangefinder in the commercial then, pull up a m9... which obviously does not have liveview like it shows in the ad.
Interesting nonetheless.

Thats pretty bad. Nice idea for a commercial though.

So is Lincoln German owned now? Or is that the message they wanted us to perceive?

He went from a silver camera -- couldn't get a clear view of it -- to a black M9. Was that first one an M3? The character in the commercial was a "German agriculture student." Do all young German farmers get Leicas???

On a similar note, there was a Yashica Electro 35 amongst others in that Pepsi commercial! Woohoo for vintage misrepresentation!

See and all of this time I was thinking that Leica III's got reincarnated as M Monocrom's - according to Leica's commercial that is. I guess there's always one that wants to be different and go for color.

Hey, we Germans know the magic.
It was, of course, the new "M". LOL
And he got his green card. (#envy)
