Leica Rumors

The Italian photojournalist Gabriele Micalizzi was severely injured when he was hit by shrapnel from RPG in Syria and the Leica he had up to his eye saved his life:

“I can tell you the story now, in a corridor of San Raffaele hospital, thanking those who did everything for me. The Kurdish military, the American doctors, the Italian embassy. My Leica camera, too. If I hadn’t been holding it in front of my face, I wouldn’t be here to talk about it: in the impact it damaged my eyes, but it served as a shield. I was wearing a helmet, a bullet-proof vest, the right gear.” (Corriere)
