Each under their own little stork. http://s.leica-camera.com/auslieferung-der-leica-s2-gestartet/?lang=en&mid=5 55 or http://tinyurl.com/ydvb73x I was encouraged by the head shot they ran of Rakete. As he's a white haired dude who looks not younger than I am. And he's described as a prominent photographer from Berlin. I wiki'd him to see if they say how old the guy is. 1 January 1951, Berlin, Germany they say. I guess we're of the same generation. He's 16 days older then I am. This makes me feel very mainstream. Sometimes I feel over the hill. But I'm feeling much better now about the whole issue. Mark William Rabiner
