Because of going to the LHSA meetings which I thought of as the LUG in 3D I hung out with on several occasions not just at the meetings plenty of people a few of which our mutual freinds. It's how I met almost of my "Leica friends" A few though I'd see just at the yearly meetings in various cities but a dozen meetings in ten years adds up!

A few have died a few I've lost touch with. But all in all a good percentage of people I'd hang out with (friends) were Leica people and most of those were from the LUG and or LHSA. Mostly though smilying faces some from all over the world whose names I'd have to take a peak at if I wasn?t going to say "hey you". -- Mark William Rabiner Photographer ?On 7/4/19, 1:36 PM, "LUG on behalf of Howard Cummer via LUG" <lug-bounces+mark=rabinergroup.com at leica-users.org on behalf of lug at leica-users.org> wrote: Hi Nathan, Indeed you met Tom A. when Henning Wulff and I were visiting Photokina with Tom in 2006 - Tom really knew his way around and knew all the Leica technical people. Somewhere in my pre Lightroom days I have a picture of you and Tom at a photo equipment flea market in Cologne. Enjoyed what LHSA offered then but have also let my membership lapse. Mark, you were there as well, I recall, and we went on some of the excursions together.

I was a member once upon a time, and participated in one of the events in New York during a visit, and in a trip to Wetzlar when I lived in Brussels (easy drive for me). But I noticed that the cameras were mostly fondled rather than used, with just a few of the participants really taking pictures of anything other than other people?s cameras. I believe that the late great Tim Abrahamsson was one of the people I met through the LHSA, but I am not sure. If you are a collector rather than photographer, then LHSA is for you.
