It's a ragtag band led by Kyle Cassidy of guys who beat up Leicas and use them rather than sticking those suckers on the shelf to rot. I guess that I'm an honorary member so basically being this street/photojournalist sort of dude, I hope to reveal the story of the PLUG and what PLUG does and what it doesn't do. Oh, by the way, I did catch a cool pictures of Kyle's M6... hard to say because it looks rather concealed with gaffer's tape or something. I don't have to worry about Leicaflex weight hehehe. Oh, by the way I got some solid close-ups using the Summicron-R 50mm 1:2 of course. Shooting at 16 inches is fairly difficult because I had to focus in near darkness with a depth of field of about 1-2 inches total if you remember that you have large coverage with faraway objects than near objects. For those who complain about my pictures with short depth of field, deal with it. I didn't have my 35mm lens yet and I would shoot at 15mm if the R-series weren't so darn expensive :) And now for the rollout (PLUG pictures plus some offbeat scenes of Philly bohemia): http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=162878 . And enjoy and critique and devestate me at will. :) Leicafully yours, Alfie CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This E-Mail is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
