Re: [Leica] JG & Ted - flash & M6

[Mark Walberg <Walberg@simmons.swmed.edu>]

So JG, I think Ted and others are suggesting that maybe an SLR with better
flash control and metering might be better than a Leica for the kind of
work you are talking about.  So, maybe you could enlighten us as to why you
think a Leica is best for this kind of work.  Maybe I'm missing something,
but it sounds like much of the examples you describe could be handled very
well with an N90 or an F5.
   Oh, and by the way, is there any way you could turn off all those lines
of winmail stuff at the bottom of all of your posts??  Thanks.
