>While there are a lot of threads that you have to wade through, there

>Leica photography.  You can hear about Ben having his equipment stolen,
>a person who bought an early anastigmat for $35 and a story about an

>discussions on different lenses and equipment too.

>You will also read more posts to, from and about Oddmund, CL and CLE
>cameras, minox, guns and one who takes photos with his Leica in the
>bathroom, (it's not as bad as it sounds) than you can ever imagine.
>But, through it all you will get a better understanding for the

>for why certain issues and posters are responded to in a certain way.
>I kept finding myself saying ahhhhh, that explains why.

>I highly recommend reading every digest you can,
