In a description of a Cartier-Bresson book in mentioned that he uses a Leica 35 Midtown Meditation camera. Is there or has there ever been such a Leica? If not, what do you suppose they are referring to? Michael

Great name for a camera, but sounds fictional -What's the book and who's the author?.......

It's mentioned in this website of a gallery that specializes in Cartier-Bresson photos. I wonder if the name's a mistranslation from French?

Or somebody wondered what MM in "Leica 35 MM camera" stood for and decided to invent a creative answer.
