Subject: [Leica] it may not be as expensive as you think....

A couple weeks ago I was digging through my camera bag for a flash sync 
cable to connect a pocket wizard to an sb800 (that I would then of course 
trigger with my m6) and couldn't find it. I tore the bag apart 
(figuratively) no deal. Eventually I lit the thing a different way but when 
I got home (and found my cable right in the bag where I'd been searching) I 
vowed that wasn't going to happen again - I was going to get a LOT of the 
stupid things.  So I called Pocket Wizard and sure enough, they sold the six 
inch cable PC/mini cable for ...  $20. I was like "um, it's a six inch cable 
with two common connectors" and they were like "um, twenty bucks dude."

So I repeated some phrases I'd learned from wise LUGgers years ago in a 
Nairobi bar, hung up the phone and opened ebay where I found these cables in 
great quantities for a dollar. So I ordered a bunch.
