But anyway Larry I went and got two copies of Newsweek and when we're in DC in October we're going to go see Fred's showing and I'll try to get him to sign them for me. Thanks again for the heads up. Did any one see the latest issue of American Photo. (Best cover shot of the year-me thinks-Heidi Kulm in all her glory) They did an editors choice and not one 35mm LEICA product, other than the $12,000 Digital. Don't you ALL THINK they need their Mail boxes full of Letters of Discontent from this Group??? Every cheep and bad lens made it, but NOOOOOOOOO Leica offerings.
