Or the buyers choice of pelt. You know $5 K for the pelt and $5 K for the screw mount used by a little old grandmother in Wolfesburg! ;-) By the way Sandy flew through your town today on her way to Inuvik! Yeah doing an assignment way up there in the high arctic for a week and the temperature was 40 below zero today or maybe colder! So this week she'll be indoctrinated to the fine perils of a Canadian arctic winter night using M6's. Going to be a hell of an awakening for a gal from southern California. :-) I told her not to worry how cold it was, because it was a "dry cold and she wont feel it!" ;-) OK so I lied! :-) She'll find out soon enough when she gets off the plane and her breath freezes in the air. Fortunately the bulk of the shooting is indoors. However, I'm sure she'll have some interesting first timer tales when she gets back. :-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
