This is from the latest Rangefinder magazine:
Unique Leica and New Book Commemorate 9/11
At the prompting of Italian-born amateur photographer, John Botte, Leica has agreed to make a film camera that commemorates the 9/11 attacks in 2001. The Botte-designed camera is made from a solid block of titanium. Botte, a New York City detective, used his own Leica in 2001 to record the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy. Although Botte contracted lung disease following 9/11, he agreed with HarperCollins to put out a book of his best 9/11 images. That book is expected sometime in 2006.
