[Leica] But the bokeh is great!

[Mark Rabiner]

I did a real good photo of that group did you forget?! Only thing missing was me!
I used a Nikon D200 which I was pretty used to using. One of the best group shots I ever did!

    About fifteen years ago I was invited to be a speaker at the annual 
    gathering of NYLUG -- the New York Leica Users Group. The meeting was 
    held at ICP, whose website at www.icp.org asserts:
    
         "The International Center of Photography (ICP) is the world’s 
    leading
          institution dedicated to photography and visual culture."
    
    There were 15 or 20 Leica Users in attendance. The NYLUG organizer (John 
    Lee) wanted to get a group photograph of the attendees. Kyle Cassidy was 
    in the group, and he went off to find someone who could take the 
    picture. He came back with a person who he said was a senior photography 
    instructor there at ICP. Someone provided an M7 with a 35/1.4 Summilux 
    on it, and we all gathered in a pose.
    
    It soon became obvious that the photography instructor had no idea what 
    to do with a rangefinder camera. I don't remember how we ended up with 
    photos--was the instructor suitably instructed, or was a new 
    photographer found? Come to think of it, I'm not sure I ever saw a copy 
    of that photo.
    
    It's a good thing the M7 had been loaded with film before it was handed 
    to the instructor....
