[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a friend who is a digital part-time professional (he is a deputy sheriff and, thus, in these hustings, a Democrat and we got to be friends from our photographing political events from the opposite ideological sides). He mainly shoots weddings and has quite a booming business on weekends. (He works the Courthouse, 8:30 to 4:30, Monday through Friday.) He has been asking for a couple of years to borrow one of my Leicas so, finally, I lent him my late M3 DS, a 1.4/35 Pre-Asph Summilux, a 2/5cm NF Summicron with the eyes, a 4/9cm collapsible Elmar, and a 4/135 Elmar. Now I cannot get the gear back. I have earned one convert from the digital crowd! He has shot several weddings and has been most impressed with the improvement in the quality of his pictures. <sigh> I want my stuff back! I like that collapsible 9cm Elmar for walks in the woods. (I COULD mention to the Sheriff but, then, why stir up problems in Dodge City? I might get Miss Kitty mad at me .... ) Marc msmall@infionline.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
