Hi friends,

Personnally I don't dislike the cover of the book, it would be a very  
difficult deicision for Jim choose a precise picture, IMHO it's a  
continuity of the previous years, the cover has showed something like  
a symbol for us, if this year the election is the M9 I think is a very  
good idea, the M9 represents a great step on the mariage of the  
rangefoinder and digital world.

Saludos cordiales
Lluis
