Whether Olympics or not! I suggest everyone on the LUG have a look at this series, as it's absolutely amazing what this photog has produced! I mean whether he is using whatever camera, this is one very inspirational photographer! I'd sure hate to be up against him in competition with an iphone or Leica, Canon, Nikon whatever! Don't delete it without a good look, well worth your time! Nice to see such imaginary use of a camera...... whatever kind! Photos like these? It's like, who needs a Leica?????? Given there are more and more iphones of 16 & higher mega pixels capturing images of excellent quality. If some of the camera manufacturers don't stay on top of this kind of gear we could see similar situations by camera manufactures as we've seen with film companies! Gone belly-up! Hello Mr. Leica, don't do what you did when digital cameras came on the scene! Get with it before it runs right by you again!! People only remember the Leaders/Winners! .... not second place or followers! cheers, Dr. ted :-)
