Guess you have to be royalty to get the >big perks. :-) Not necessarily, Eric. A bunch of accomplished pros have been given Leicas, and a slew of others. Hugo Eckener, the Zeppelin man, got two, as did Erwin Rommel (he lost the first). Heads of state are frequent recipients. But Elizabeth has purchased several Leicas, as well, including at least one from the Midland, Ontario, plant, this being located in "one of her realms and territories". She also shoots Rolleiflex TLR, but I believe an early 2.8F is the most recent one of these she has. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
