Some strike up a conversation. One or two play with it! "Great gear", "Nice stuff", "Beautiful equipment" are comments I've heard over the last few weeks. What they don't know is the one of the bodies was chewing up film, and that any cheapo camera would have taken a better shot of the team I misfocussed with. And guess what, for that U14 girls team, I noticed in the barely acceptable prints that the coach was wearing a Leica baseball cap. Bewdy!
