Oh, yah, they're going to rush right up for that one...:-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Steve Unsworth Sent: Saturday, October 02, 2004 7:10 PM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: RE: [Leica] Zeiss Ikon Well, I don't use flash, I've always found 1/1000 fast enough, I prefer a bottom loader (strange but true!) and I like to use a 28mm lens without resorting to an external viewfinder. Other than that I agree totally with you that the Zeiss _may_ be a better camera ;-) Steve
