The piece is entitled Returning to Retro-Tech. The subtitle is "Avoiding new gizmos isn't Luddite; in fact it's often smart." In one of the photos, Black and White (no doubt Tri-X), we see a fellow with a Leica CL and a Hasselblad 500C. One of the sentences states "These people simply believe old technology makes them better thinkers, more efficient workers, and just a little more comfortable." I agree. It is too bad that the yuppie author of the piece is not familiar with Rolleis. However, this may be just as well. Rolleinuts prefer obscurity. This way they can enjoy a good thing without having to pay Leica-collector prices. Best of Light in the New Year, Chris ******************************not T* Ps. These opinons are all my own.
