Sonny - your pix are second to none. I've enjoy them immensely - very 
well done. For myself, I update my home pages relatively infrequently 
because I tell myself (probably as a cop-out) that I don't have the 
time for PAW.

Can't track down the LTM threads from your reference, but I'm pretty 
sure that my impression of the majority of the current LUG membership 
is more or less right - LTM is not very important in the context of 
the LUG.

OTOH, it's a pleasure to use a 70 year old camera/lens combo and find 
that it can produce results equal to a modern Leica M. See:

Enjoy the shot of the slightly younger E-Type Jaguar. Comments welcome.

Best
