[Leica] Karen Nakamura speech

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

Lawrence,

I recently came across a reference to film - as opposed to plate - cameras 
and
the development of the negatives thereof in an account of a trip to Sinai 
in, I
think, the 1880s. I will try and find the details later tonight.
