He will be giving presentations: March 25, Tuesday at ASMP/Colorado (Denver) March 26, Wednesday at ASMP San Diego March 29, Saturday (Pauls Photo, Torrance (LA)). For the San Diego presentation, at least, have arranged sponsorship by Leica and Fuji and they are appreciated. He shoots Ms and Rs, does all his own B/W, E6 and C41 on Jobo. He has been to 80 countries and has 180,000 images with the stock agency. Mostly travel. He is very well spoken, full of stories and enthusiasm. Native of Cuba. Lives in Miami. He has been using the R8 for a couple months now and said it is simply the finest camera he has ever owned. And that the only exposure errors it has made is when he overroad the cameras' suggestions. And the the mirror slap problem of the R7 has been solved. R8 hand holdable to lower shutter speeds. For more info, contact me. Donal Philby San Diego
