Have y'all received the latest Leica newsletter? One of the attractions at Photokina is going to be a specially designed set to house birds of prey for observers to watch! They're going to have a trained falconer on hand for the festivities! Now why can't we have wonderfully outrageous events like that around here? ;-) Kit (who wants to fly the coop, but can't!) -- Here's the excerpt from the newsletter, for your enjoyment: __At the photokina: "Weitblick" - the flying display of birds of prey with free testing of Leica binoculars and scopes The "Weitblick" promotion offered for the first time at this year's photokina is an extra special event for nature lovers and birdwatchers. Every day from September 28th to October 3rd 2004, birdwatchers and nature lovers will have the opportunity to watch the flying display of the birds of prey of the game preserve Hellenthal from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Visitors interested in watching the flying skills of a total of seven kinds of birds of prey (including eagles, vultures and various types of falcon) in more detail on a specially erected outside stage on the banks of the river Rhine can borrow Leica high-end binoculars and scopes free of charge. The flying display will be conducted under the expert control of a trained falconer at a distance of about 80 meters from the stage. The stage is on the Kennedy bank only a few steps from the main entrance to the Cologne fair. At the photokina weekend, the platform on the banks of the Rhine is open to the general public as well. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+leicagalpal=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+leicagalpal=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Ted Grant Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 6:58 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] WAS: Black and White C41 Film now....

How do you get the film out of the casset? Pull it out the felt slot or do you pop the end cap off and take the roll out into hand and load the reel free hand? And did you only have one roll scratched in the R8, the one the lab said "they found it?" Or have you had many rolls scratched in the same R8? And if so, have you "louped" the pressure plate looking for anything that might cause this? Because if you've only had one roll scratched in your R8 it leaves a great deal of doubt that it was the camera. ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
