Yeah... big percentage... And for you information, we do not inanely talk tech. We carry on uniquely interesting conversations relating to many aspects of Leica's, Leica photography, personal experiences... here, I'm going to repeat a couple of recent= posts... Thomas B=F6hm of Imst, Austria wrote "Venezia is in my best remembrances also in photographic matters: some BW-films and nice prints from my visit at sylvester 1982/83 - we arrived by train at 31th december afternoon, enjoying the last hours of the old year in a restaurant and then at night on the piazza san marco with hundreds/thousands of people having fun while the clock moved to 24 h...; then dropping in some bars for a few glasses valpolicella or grappas, and walking through the more and more sleeping city until the new year became visible in the morning-light... some great photographs between 4 and 7 h... a very magic time! no hotel: whe sleeped in the train on the way back to austria...." And one from our "hack pro" Ted Grant "That's why I like to do the "walk about" at dawn when everyone else is still in bed and I have the city quietly to myself. And in there lies the secret of finding new angles anywhere. New day, fresh body and clear mind. Besides it's gorgeous light!!!! And Leicas and light go hand in hand." Now remember what I said. Keep that nose up.
