Yesterday, at "The Gates" in New York's Central Park, where just about every other person was using a digital P&S, I saw the following: 1 M7 2 M6 Classics 1 M3 wearing a collapsible Summicron 1 Digilux 1 1 Digilux 2. That's the record for the "Most-Leica-Sightings-In-One-Place" award in my experience (other than at Leica meetings,of course). All were being "worn" on the chest, BTW; none were in use. Most of the DSLRs I saw were various flavors of Nikons. I saw a few film SLRs, including one old no-meter Nikon F. The Park was a mobbed; more crowded than I've ever seen it. Shutters clicked continuously. I even caught a few people taking pictures of *me* while I was taking pictures of others - unfair! I was using my M7 and hope to have some pictures to post in a couple of days. -- Regards, Dick Boston MA
