Sad. Maitani designed my favorite 35mm slr. Perhaps I should bury it in sympathy.

I lived in Japan from '75 to '78, and traded my Leica IIIf for an Olympus M1- forerunner of the OM-1. I had a chance to meet Maitani Yoshihisa-san, and found him to be very gracious. I think of him every time I take pictures with his wonderful cameras.

Not. Maitani expects you to use it.

Try burying a Leica ... even in death that would bring a smile to his face I'm sure! :angel:
