The 35mm lens is superb, but I keep thinking that I must get a 28mm :-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of James Fassinger Sent: 09 January 2001 21:02 To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Photos on the Web and Budvar...

I'm almost positive that Budvar cannot be sold in the States because of protectionism by A-B (I've searched for a long time). But, I do know that they can, and do, sell it under the name of "Crystal" there. You can't find any Czech beer in the Detroit area (where I am originally from) for less than USD 4.50 per half litre in the pub. But it is certainly worth it! although....here in Prague it's about USD 0.33 per half litre.....a much better bargain. Steve, I liked the Paris pictures you posted on your site. Well done. Regarding the street musician shot, I think the vertical one is much stronger. James james@stillscenes.com Images at: http://www.stillscenes.com/
