I can practically smell it when I see your pictures. Sonoma is also the source of some of the best wines, cheese and poultry. We try to make our pilgrimage there every few years. I didn't know that there were Leica people there. Jerry" Last year I had my IIIa with me a few times at the market. Several folks accosted me with nostalgic comments about the Leicas "just like that one" they had when they were younger, or that they (or their dad) brought back from World War II or occupation duty in Germany, etc. On one occasion a tourist (easily recognizable by wearing expensive "casual" clothes) said condescendingly, "why are you using that old thing? you ought to get one of these" and held up his (probably brand new) M7. On another occasion a cute young thing, a tiny digital camera hanging above her bare midriff, said brightly "is that a real camera?" The produce is really first rate. Let me know when you come up next time! Oliver - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
