I was a Navy combat photographer assigned to a Seabee battalion so I took about 6000 digital photos while out there. But I had to have a record of my experience that was MY OWN, hence the two Leicas swinging around my neck while I was in Fallujah. There was a Stars & Stripes photog out there who's backup camera was a Nikon F2. I'm all about that old gear working despite everything that we throw at it. The Nikon digital I used (D2H) wouldn't turn on if it was over 115 degrees, so some days all I shot with was a Leica. Thank you, again. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+photo.forrest=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+photo.forrest=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Richard Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 4:48 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] about time Thanks Philip. Great stuff, but you know, you don't exist! Really! Just ask anybody "How many professional photojournalists still use film and a Leica" and the answer is probably zero!
