Very intersting post, Larry. Thank you.

As for the unending SOA thread, my two cents worth:
Both the Germans and the Japanese make some outstanding photo equipment. Like
many of us here, I prefer the look Leica glass gives me, and the way the
cameras (M6, R8) handle for my professional work.

Happy Mother's Day to our US folks,
