Throwing in my two pence (I am in England this weekend...):

1) This is a project originated by Jim, and Jim does all the work  
associated with it (except the actual photography, of course). As  
such, Jim is entitled to set whatever rules he likes. The rest of us  
can choose whether or not to participate, given those rules.

2) If the purists feel that only photos taken with Leica equipment  
should be in a LUG yearbook, they are entirely free to initiate a  
similar project of their own, setting whatever rules they like.

3) When I select my two images at the end of the year, I will look  
closely at the ones I have taken in 2007 with Leica equipment (which  
in my case means with a Leica lens on either a Canon or Olympus  
DSLR). But I will definitely not submit an inferior image just  
because a piece of Leica gear was involved.
