Parris Glendening at a recent bill signing for my magazine with my always faithful 111G. I also had with me my 2 M2's and Nikon F3HP but the 111G is a total joy to use. Ironically the State photgrapher's Hasselblad broke at the 'decisive moment' and the State bought 50 8x12 prints from me. Steve Annapolis http://www.streetphoto.net http://icommag.com
