A rare but documented phenomenon (see the E LeitzWetzlarPhenom.com site) attributed to Leica M series cameras but particularly virulent in M8 systems. For some unexplained reason, the pix turn out fine but the photographer's face takes on an obvious magenta cast. Owners who do not use the M8 have not reported any episodes of this pathology. According to the site, only a return to film camera use for at least 15 to 30 days can restore the photographer's skin tissue to normal pigmentation. Really! (and pretty soon, monkeys are going to fly out of my.....)

I think he was duped by Chris's piece of s**t Holga. Soon we will find out if Chris's arm is 3 feet long (he measured the distance from each of us by checking his boxing reach against our chin). On a positive note, even with the fake Leitz badge on the camera, it weighs less than an ounce, with film. If his pictures suck, you can bet they'll be on Steve's site. :-0 On 7/23/07, Christopher Williams <leicachris@worldnet.att.net> wrote: > Oh yeah, now I remember that was right before Jeff dropped my > Leitzolga and screwed up the baseplate.
