[Leica] IMG: 3 Puppies Looking Out

[Robert Baron]

That is excellent!  Now that you mention it I think I have an Olympus that
does that, but I quit using it because I never could remember how to work

speed-aperture-focus and CLICK it becomes almost as difficult for me as
getting flat on the floor.....and then getting back up.
