[Leica] CENTRAL PARK SPRING

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard Taylor)]

Victor - Beautiful shot!  Mere megapixels sure aren't everything are  
they?  My first digital was a 1.2 MP Olympus (that I still have even  
after the recent major purge of my photo gear).  I made some really  
nice 8X10's from that camera.  It also had zero shutter lag and a real  
optical viewfinder!

Maybe I should put a couple of AA's into it and put it back in  
service.  :-))

Let's see more from that Digilux 1!

Regards,

Dick
