[Leica] New R Solution?

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

Hi George,

I had been working with Michael also for awhile.  The Turbo option is nice 
and would certainly be good.  he also had a rechargeable unit which screwed 
into the tripod mount which I tried out.

I hear you loud and clear Gene.
Yet while it works - what the hell - it works beautifully.

I've forwarded to you wonderful news from my friend Troy Freund
re: batteries and other wonderful things.

At the moment my
Hasselblad CM system, Linhof Tech IV system, Deardorf system, M6 TTL, and 
2nd R8
are all acting like paper weights too.

Regards,
George Lottermoser
