[Leica] One of the joys of a film Leica

[images at comporium.net (Tina Manley)]

Absolutely!!  I was worried about the trip to Vietnam with a bunch of
photographers.  I didn't need to worry.  I carried my little Leicas with
the wide lens and they all had huge Nikons and Canons with enormous zoom
lenses.  I was right in the middle of all of their photos as they stood way
back out of the action.

PS:  Can't wait to see the pillow fight photos!
