Lucien quoted someone else saying:
> 'Leica may have invented 35mm but Nikon made 35mm important!
Ummmmm, at the risk of incurring the wrath of the LUG, I think I'd agree
with that.

David and Lucien,
How do you define "important" in this context? I would certainly agree that
the SLR was an important development, but Leica photographers had
demonstrated the value and importance of 35mm cameras long before Nikon came
on the scene.
Happy Holidays,
