Not even the so called "greats" of Leica users have more than one. It's kind of soul levelling because it's an equalizer if you like, when you know your one photograph made it along with one HCB and many other greats and ordinary folks, all leica users. It's the most motivating photo book I own because before you're half way through it, even though you may have looked through it a dozen times and know many of the pictures to come before you turn the page............ you become wired and just want to get a Leica and out the door to take pictures and it doesn't matter what, you just want to shoot something. ;-) If yer dragging your ass and unmotivated just look through this book and you'll be up and rarin' to picture rock and roll in no time. :-) Yep the 280mm shot of Ben Johnson is a nice photo on page 280. :-) Thanks for remembering it. ted
