Martin-
Safety here in this country has become a real issue! With product liability
suits at an all-time high, the government requires some bizarre notices.
Just yesterday, My wife and I were shopping for some supplies for a party,
and I noticed a box of decorative votive candles... the box had one whole
side devoted to 'safe' lighting instructions. I told her that when we have
to depend on a government that cannot tell the Chinese Embassy from a
parking lot to tell us how to light a candle- then we're in BIG trouble
 'in deep doo-doo' is what I actually said!)
I am surprised that Leica has not been forced to include two or three pages
of safety instructions with each camera and lens! ( We laughed when the new
SFA processor arrived at one of our labs- Fuji had a notice sticker on the
paper magazine that 'Dropping on foot may cause severe impact injury!'- as
if we needed to told!)
Dan ( geared toward the lowest common denominator)
