I should have realized the name was legit, when one
of the characters started bragging about his Leica IIIf,
the penultimate of the Leica screw-thread cameras.

The ultimate being a Canon 7S with f0.95 lens?

No, the Leica IIIg. Not that I wouldn't mind having one.

Since we've drifted off-topic anyhow, I'd certainly settle for a Leotax
(Showa Opt. Co.), or a Nicca, or a Robot Royal: now *there's* a camera.
Or a Canon, for that matter ...

What is that f/0.95; a Nocton?

To me, the *plonk...* reminds me of the old man at the public hearing
who stands to make his point, then removes his hearing aid as a sign
that he is not going to hear any rebuttals.
