Some new 'faces'- Yes, LTM can mean Leica Time Machine, because they carry you back to the halcyon days when men were men, women were women, and 35 mm cameras were Leicas. It means Leica Thread Mount, and you may hear the referred to as SM for Screw Mount, or as our Asian LUGgers are wont to call them, Barnack Cameras after the gent who actually 'designed and built' the thing for Ernst Leitz. You will hear the terms RF and VF for rangefinder and viefinder, respectively, and which are usually two different eye 'oles! You will often hear the phrase- "(^*%^$*&^%$)*" when a user is actually trying to load film into one! Dan ( Please take notes- there WILL be a quiz at the end of the class!) dwpost@msn.com
