RE: [Leica] Buying film in Wetzlar

Well, it may reflect pride in the product, but I would suggest that it also
reflects an attitude that is hurting Leica today. Not, God knows, to suggest
that they produce an M7APS! ;-)

I just thought, "Go, Granny, Go!"
There is nothing like pride in a local product, and they have a lot to be
proud of! Let Kodak go suck a sour pickle if they don't like it! As my 12
year old granddaughter would say, "Deal with it!"
