I'll pass that onto him, number 2 son that is. :) <<<And Ted, has there been no Leica brainwashing of number two son?? >>> After the 1978 Commonwaelth Games in Edmonton where Canon were the official camera and they had just released the A1 (?) with motor they sold off all the equipement used during the games at 50% of dealer net price. Like it was a steal, so I bought Scott two bodies and a few lenses and he has ben hooked on Canon ever since, even thoygh he learned his early picture taking abilities with Leica. He says when he gets to be rich and famous :) (poor and unknown is more like it) as his old man, he'll buy Leica. It's ethier that or he has first dibs on all my gear when I move onto the big darkroom in the sky!:) ted
