No half-baked soci-political diatribe to speak of. I, for one, would like to think that the folks at Solms, Leica USA, Kindermann-Leica etc. also read the LUG and, perhaps, look to us as a fairly good sample of their customer base. Our comments on their existing products and our wishes for future developments may help inspire or influence the company towards doing what we may also find useful or attractive. Lord knows there are really few forums other than the LUG which give us a chance to air our views in their direction. We devalue our potential contribution to this dialogue by attacking each other like madmen, ranting about things light-years from Barnack's invention and its successors. Aside from basic human etiquette, this is a compelling reason for continuing to exercise a little restraint here. On a slightly related topic, I'm a little sorry to learn of a soon-to-be separate R LUG. Although I've never really used an R camera, and may never buy one, I'm always interested to learn more about what's going on in that line. If you R users split off I believe we will all become the poorer. The thought of subscribing to a second twice daily missive is really not very appealing. Emanuel Lowi Photojournalist Montreal
