This is that little weather-proofed Olympus Stylus (35mm 2.8 lens) that we had up for discussion a couple of weeks ago. There's a story here. Every year the county sponsors a trip to Auschwitz. Each school in the county sends two students. The students take part in a competition. They write essays on why they would like to go and get chosen on the basis of that. My son was one of them. I gave him the Olympus and a few rolls of Tri-X. He forgot the Olympus in a hotel in Krakow. He felt really terrible when he got back and told us. We called the hotel. Yes, they had it. We asked if they would hold on to it for a couple of weeks. We had other friends going down that way. "No problem." We got the camera back and here are a couple of shots. Not bad for a 15 year old kid who refuses to take advice. http://folk.uio.no/danielr/images/04v02-0001.jpg http://folk.uio.no/danielr/images/04v02-0002.jpg Daniel - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
