What is a small floral tribute by children ... "one or two who may be an Olympian Athlete some day?" be of any money loss to these morons! It works like this....... "THE COUNTRY WISHING TO HOST THE GAMES AND COW TOW TO THE VISITING IOC OFFICIALS WITH THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF BOOZE AND BROADS IS GOING TO GET THE GAMES!" Unfortunately that comes with the mental midgets controlling the lives of business owners and the making of floral tributes by children! Quite frankly it's become far beyond any common sense and costly to even consider hosting them at anytime. But then countries that do? Illustrate the political mental midgets who run the country don't do any better a job than the IOC! cheers, Dr. ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lew Schwartz" <lew1716 at gmail.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2012 7:34 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Rights to Olympic Photos >I wonder if they recognize our M's as being interchangeable lens cameras. > I've seen one featherhead equate dslr = professional/commercial. > Everything > else was point & shoot in his mind. > > On Sun, Jul 29, 2012 at 10:24 AM, Gerry Walden <gerry.walden at me.com> > wrote: > >> Lew >> >> You are correct, despite the sponsorship by Panasonic. >> >> Gerry >> >> Gerry Walden >> +44 (0)23 8046 3076 or >> +44 (0)797 287 7932 >> www.gwpics.com >> >> On 29 Jul 2012, at 14:54, Lew Schwartz wrote: >> >> > ... and I believe that I've read that they have taken the position that >> all >> > interchangeable lens cameras are, by their definitions, commercial and >> > evidence of commercial use. >> > >> > On Sun, Jul 29, 2012 at 9:51 AM, Tina Manley <images at comporium.net> >> wrote: >> > >> >> I've heard several examples like that.
