Why would the guy have to use a Leica? Think of the broad picture". His stuff appeared on my news feed yesterday as he was at Ground Zero when it happened and he did some great work of the disaster as it unfolded. They had a voiceover of him talking on a NYTimes thing as his pix went by. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ > From: Lluis Ripoll Querol <lluisripollquerol at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2011 18:07:40 +0200 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] M9 TODAY! :-) YAHOO!
