[Leica] Hong Kong & Shanghai

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I can show you very bad pictures taken with Leicas as well if you so wish,
the world is full of them, as with any brand of equipment! This is Tina's
first attempt, her second attempt shows results that are already
considerably better.

All I said was why buy equipment when you are not willing to spend time to
learn the system in order to coax optimum results out of it?

In any case, to each his own.

Cheers
Jayanand
