Subject: [Leica] Leica in Montreal

Leica fans from Montreal had a opportunity today to see the new toys
from our cherished brand of camera in one of the chic downtown hotel.
The M7 was the most remarked camera but we could witness a lot of
interest in the new  Digilux 1. The people from Lisle Kelco brought
along all the mostly desirable lenses such as the 28 Summicron, 21
Elmarit, 90 Apo-Summicron, 50
Summilux and yes, a Noctilux! Of course, finders, Motor M, Leica R8 with
some few R-systems items, binoculars and scopes were there as well.

The nice thing is that the Leica people, among others Mr. John Paul, let
us mount these beauties on our own personal camera and shoot with them!
I was able to try for a first time, if not scientifically, these
marvels. I have not processed my films yet, but the physical compactness
of the 50 Summilux is growing on me.....

The other nice thing was meeting these fellow LUG members. Mr. Paul was
swift at introducing each others with sinsere pleasure.  I have met
Emmanuel Lowi, Dan Cardish, Robert Beaudoin, Mark Tomalty; all pleasant
guys and seemingly, very much interested in the M7. Some names on the
LUG will have faces....

Pierre Charbonneau,
Montreal
