So I think its a different thing in how often I fire my Leicas to how often i fire me guns if I had them. When I fire my Leica with film in it a picture gets taken when I can then print. When I fire my gun I have to drag the moose out of the street. Big difference it appear to me. Equating them seems silly. Mark William Rabiner Harlem, NY rabinergroup.com
