Ted, 
I like that idea, particularly in light of the new Delta 3200. Probably would
get a lot of shooters to go to Kodaks MP prints film (a movie copying stock)
with a nominal speed of 0,1 ASA. Now that is a film for the Noctilux! Looking
forward to meet with you next week at the Leica "song and dance" at Leo's.

THIS IS FOR TOM WHERE EVER YOU MAYBE!!!!! :)
Tom,
OK as your (silent) ((OK guys that means I don't get anything out of
this!)) business manager, I suggest you do the following... as Leica would
do!
The cost of the coloured and asa engraved soft release would be
proportionately priced in relation to the asa engraved!!!! :)

IE:  a 64 would be $ 64.00:  a 400 would be $400.00 and God love them, I
hope a bunch of guys order 1600!!!!!!!!!!   Go figure!  Tom here is the
opportunity of a lifetime for a photographer to finally make money! :)

OK you guys and gal get your cheque books and money ready. Get your orders
in! Here is your one and only chance to be a benevolent human being in the
cause of a starving photographer! :) :) :) :)

Sure sounds good to me and Leica, Solms, must be just wetting their pants
that they never thought of this! :) :) :) :)
