Last Sunday I was at our Chinese New Year's parade, and there were a 
couple of Leica users there. One fellow was there with a couple of 
Leicas and an Xpan - I had to do a quick check to see that I wasn't 
looking into a mirror.

But no, it wasn't me as I was there with my Roundshot, and didn't 
even have a Leica with me.
