It was in the 90s. Canon had already taken a big chunk out of Nikon with the EOS series and had firmly established itself. Behind those two, Leica is in pretty good company. And people seem to think that Leica is in last place among pros. It's simply not true, and that's why I keep bringing up the PDN survey. Considering Leica and Contax are the only companies to have 30 plus per cent increase in camera sales in the U.S. a couple years ago, I guess their position could have only gotten better in relation to other companies. - -- ========= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO We are born naked, wet and hungry.
