I love the "revolutionary" Leica poster hanging in my local camera shop. Anyone know where I could get one of those?

They run about $1.00 on the streets of Havana... Other than that, I see them come up from time to time on Ebay. You could do a search for "che" and probably find more stuff than you can imagine.

I did some Internet searches, but failed to find the Leica poster.

I did see that Korda (aka Alberto Diaz Gutierrez) has filed a complaint against Leica for using his famous photo of Che. He previously won a copyright case agains Smirnoff Vodka for use of the photo in their advertising.

As a photographer I support him, but as a Leica fan I *do* want a copy of the Leica poster.

Oops. Sorry for being so out of touch with affairs. I see that Mr. Korda passed away in May of this year.

Korda passed away after defeating the vodka distributor.

That one on ebay doesn't have the "Revolutionary" Leica slogan. The photo looks like it was run off on a dot matrix printer! Looks like an ebay ripoff artist to me.
