Subject: RE: [Leica] Lens / Lense

Ladies and gentlemen,

For heavens sake, who the hell cares how you spell it, as long as all of
you understand a "lens"  as usually used in our vernacular....meaning a
glass object  attached to a box holding light sensitive film of some
variation therein being colour or B&W! Or what ever the hell you're using!

The Canadian Press spelling for such an object is "Lens", so being a true
red blooded Canadian photojournalist, I guess all you folks spelling lense
instead of lens will be deemed spelling it wrong!:) Hey don't get all antsy
and everything with the flames, as we Canadians don't give a flying owls
hoop how you other folks spell it!  After all, The Canadian Press is the
guide to Canadian/English/American spelling in this country.:)  And if
you're confused, you should live here and take a spelling test! :)

So there! :), Lens it is! Now no more spelling nonsense, just get your
asses out the door and shoot filum! :)
