So far, Melbourne has been nothing but family visits, so the games have had little impact on us. I have been using mostly a Fuji F11 here, and it occurred to me that it (and similar P&S digitals) is the heir to the role played by the original Leica in the 30s-- small, inconspicuous, good in low light compared to the alternatives. I suspect that users of view cameras also thought of Leice IIIs as "point and shoot" :-). My SLR feels enormous and clunky next to it. -- Clive Images: http://clive.smugmug.com On 3/15/06, Rick Dykstra <rdcb37@dodo.com.au> wrote: > Clive, the coastal route will be enjoyable and scenic.
