He uses a Nikon F5, and considers my F100 far to pokey to be of use for his skateboard work.;-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Phong Sent: Sunday, July 21, 2002 10:00 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] FYI Boston Area Lugers... B.D., First, congratulations ! Second, my regrets. I would have enjoyed taking this opportunity to perhaps see you and other Boston area Lugers. Unfortunately I will be in Montreal. Skateboard photography sounds very, very interesting, though I do not suppose Ben uses Leica M for this purpose. - - Phong > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of B.
