[Leica] Non Picture of the Week

[bruce at ralgo.nl (bruce)]

Sounds like a great idea, Jim ............ perhaps some short clips  
in QuickTime (or that Windows thingy ............).

My uncle used a 16mm Bolex to make his amateur movies, in the early  
60s. He won many national (GB) awards, particularly for his sound- 
tracks.

Please keep us posted.
