Regarding the new Pradovit projectors, I went on Saturday night to a slide show presented by Rene Burri who was receiving the 1998 Erich Saloman prize hosted by the GdPh. 'Zydo' was there, (Hans Gunther von Zydovich) the Leica press chap who had been at our LUG meeting, and he, along with Gunther Osterloh, spent many minutes persuading an RT Pradovit to perform correctly before the start of the show! Sitting through an hour and a half of unintelligible German was made bearable by the free beer and pizza and the chance to say 'hello' to Rene afterwards and claim an autograph! If only I had hung around the Leica stand all day Friday I could have met Ralph Gibson as well! Looking forward to the next opportunity... Jem
