I just snatched an "ACHTUNG!" special edition made of white plastanium from the Leica store in Ginza, Tokyo. In case you don't know, plastanium is made by virgins in Solms during blue moon at midnight. Love the reduction to the essential, "das Nichts": all you can do is put in the film and press the shutter. No distracting controls. I also love how uncluttered the viewfinder is, no distractions from perfectly composing your master shots, you can't even see the frame lines. I'm so happy they allowed me to pay a premium for this extraordinary masterpiece. It's like a fine watch, like a sun dial without the annoying dial. They even removed the tripod thread to preserve the clean lines of the design. Genius! And for those who are concerned about the conspicuous Leica logo, they made it tear-off, so if you are mobbed by a crowd, you can tear it off in fractions of a second to disguise it as a kid's toy. Amazing! The even reduced the film cartridge to only hold ten frames. That's all you need for fame. After all, how many Cartier-Bresson pictures do you remember? I guess it is less than 10, so there you go. Thank you, Leica.
