Oh my God and if only I had three like that for the past 50 years why I'd have left a photographic legacy the likes the world has never seen! I mean after all, lets get real here. Using one of these cameras with it's "Oh so smooth touch" would've increased my erotic fantasies there's no question my photographs would've had much greater feeling .;-) The dead and down trodden would've arisen as the images were recorded on film, the blossoms of spring more brilliant, brides more beautiful, politicians like they weren't lying, babies happier and without question, life rosier! :-) However the pity of it is, I had to use those plain old black Leica's and the world has suffered such a great loss by me not having such fine looking cameras which we all know without question, with it's fine leather coverage and twinky look, will produce the most magnificent pictures the world has ever seen. On the other hand in this crazy world of ours there are people with more money than brains who collect things just for the sake of being able to do it. Good for them, that's life and no matter what is said pro or con it ain't going to change anything. So guys and gals lets take our "normal everyday" picture taking machines get out there and have some fun shooting film or digi-cam images. Have a great weekend. :-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
