[Leica] Is it just me?

[s.dimitrov at charter.net (Slobodan Dimitrov)]

Being an editorial photographer, I have more flexibility with what I  
shoot with. Unlike the plantation  like work condition that a PJ  
shoots under. I can even suggest to the client an Holga, if I see it  
being capable of providing me a conceptional and compositional edge.
I've yet to suggest glass plates negs, though I've seen it used on a  
fashion shoot.
Lately I've tagging along a IIIa with a 2.8cm Hektor. Once I've  
reached critical mass with it, I might post images with it down the  
line.
