I scan the subject lines on the LUG to see if something interests me, and then I look at the "from" field and read anything with bdcolen in it, because it always interests me, even if I don't always agree. :) Randy www.randyjensenphoto.com - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of bdcolen Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 9:18 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] No digital comments? bah! Bob - 1. Don't sit by the fireside reviewing negatives; 2. If the results are outstanding, I won't care what lens produced them; 3. True - battery independence is a wonderful thing; but not carrying film, one has more room to carry extra batteries; 4. What's a screen? :-) B.

You will miss those brilliant Leica M or R lenses. You will miss the battery independence of the M6. You will miss the brilliant slides you can project across a 6-foot screen. You will miss the immortality of silver images. A Leica M on a shelf: 'Not bloody likely,' as Eliza Doolittle says to us all. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
