Again, if I am not mistaken, Smith used tools to make photographs, choosing the best tool for each situation - rather than glom onto a particular brand of camera...But maybe that's just further proof of how crazy he was, in addition to being incredibly talented..;-) > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Mark > Rutledge > Sent: Thursday, December 16, 1999 5:53 PM > To: Leica Users > Subject: [Leica] W.
