Many changes to the city! new transit tokens, Penn station remodeled. I also didnt see a single R camera but several Ms on shoulders (I left M & Rs home and carried a YashicaT4 and only took 2 shots there total!) I was impressed by the R8, it looks clunky but feels great! Their TTL M6 reminds me somewhat of Pentax MX electronics; better but much room for improvement. Later that day I went to the Leica Gallery great fun there; Ms Grace Robertson's work on display really funny fotos of women having fun, and other snippits of (funny) daily life. I get so tired of photogs shooting the grim side of life. There were lots of companies with photo/mini lab equipment, is there that much money to be made in that area?? Otherwise, how can we spot other LUGers??? maybe we need to create a t-shirt or wear our LeicaM tie pins! <paul>
