>G'day all,
>
>Well, I've just come home from Melbourne. Helen and I were invited 
>to lunch at Vue De Monde in Melbourne to celebrate the Dior/Leica 
>photographic competition. The bonus as some of you know is that I 
>won, and so there was a wonderful presentation of an engraved Leica 
>Black M8, complete with "filterless" 35mm Summarit. Dior was host, 
>and we were entertained by Mette, Kate and Isabelle, who hail from 
>Denmark, Queensland and France. Leica were represented by the local 
>dealers here in Australia by Brian the CEO and Carl (who knows me 
>well!!!)
>
>The "team" made it feel very special. I was very honored and a bit 
>embarrassed, but it was great fun and the conversation was lively 
>and never slowed. The food was great and combined with fine French 
>wine it was a "long" lunch to remember. In addition, Dior threw in 
>perfume for Helen and samples of the Fahrenheit range for me. Adeal 
>threw in Leica badges. I took some images with the new camera, and 
>you can soon see whose black outfit is synthetic. I think the girls 
>will prefer the images Helen made with Olympus :-( Purple is NOT the 
>new black. However, seems with the new camera, I get 2 more filters, 
>so one will have to be E39!!!
>
>Wonderful event, lots of fun. I recommend winning a Dior Leica 
>competition if you get the chance ;-)
>
>Cheers to all

>Alastair
