[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The Leica Users Community is alive a kicking. This despite all the hogwash about how Bill Gates is going to steal our precious low res scans and make another billion off them. It is interesting to note that many of the most opinionated LUG participants have yet to post a single damned thing...makes you wonder if they are actually USING their cameras or just stroking their lens cases and typing on the internet :) (obvious baiting to get some of the big talkers to show us their stuff) In case anyone gets a bad response from the address below try this one: http://communities.msn.com/Leicausers As the post below states there are all levels of photography shown, and plenty of variety. (just don't expect fast down-loads) Best Wishes Dan States Madison WI > >Hi Steve, >The Leica-users site for free photo exhibition on the web is alive and >well. >I just spent the last 30 minutes looking at some of the LUG stuff on it and >there are some great photos there.
