Bravo, Marc, I agree. I was up at a ski race in the mountains this winter,
there was a pro dragging around a case full of the N word gear, messing
around with an incident meter. Meanwhile I had a Leica II, and the old
eyeball. Saw the pictures later, other than the telephoto shots, which I
wasn't doing couldn't see the difference between pictures, seemed like a
lot of effort. The thing that was baffling was this was a bright cclear
day the light wasn't changing, but the photographer kept checking it
again and again!?!?!
