I plead my extreme callow youth regarding LUG membership ;-) First it was how to clean your Leica lenses, which ranged from -be gentle, I'm precious to -steel wool with paint stripper Good thing I'm far away. Anyhoo back on the legendary Capa Yesterday I was very interested to read on a PBS.org site that the man himself was "staged". "In 1933, the photographer then known as Andre Friedman met Polish photographer Gerda Taro in Paris. They created the identity of American photographer "Robert Capa," and sold Friedman's work under that name. The newly-created Capa travelled to Madrid to cover the Spanish Civil war....." I don't care who he was; just stunning important images. I'm still searching for that reference on the damaged D Day images Cheers Hoppy M10 guy and accidental fomenter of ancient brews. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of H.
