I do not know anyone who researches photography more carefully than Erwin. This IS Erwin." However without a *source* for the Konica figure, it's merely a claim, not an established fact. It's a very interesting claim, because it comes from someone with a formidable reputation, and I have little doubt that it may well be an *accurate* claim, but it remains uncorroborated. Over a year ago I also asked a LUG poster for the source of the information he'd published. I was supported in my request by another LUG member who wrote: "David Morton is correct is insisting that information with a high journalistic content should be treated as such". That LUG member was Erwin Puts, you can see the whole posting at http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/v10/msg07638.html I am not - emphatically *NOT* - arguing with, or criticising, Mr Puts. I am merely asking that he provide a source for the information he has published. - -- David Morton dmorton@journalist.co.uk
