However, I just don't see myself wearing one. ;-) I can imagine them being worn at some political event with 50 non-Leica photographers blasting away twinkies flashing like crazy on a clear blue bright sunny day and banging their umbrellas back and forth on each other trying to get the best shot.. ;-) Hey this is a two? three? fold device! I'm sure a considerable amount of thought went into it's development. A no hands umbrella on a rainy day. A sun umbrella on sunny days to avoid sun burn. And obviously the twinkie light flash softener. ;-) One concern might be during a thunder and Lightening storm with the umbrella perched on yer head as it could become a lightening rod. Now that would be the "twinkie flash of all time" as the lightening hit the pointy part of the umbrella just as the photographer tripped the shutter! ;-) ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
