That's good to know thanks.
A couple of nights ago spotted a Leica APO in a documentary I was watching
on Hulu (no TV) about fashion in NY "The Tents" about runway in Bryant Park
in big white tents which is now no longer there but in Lincoln center; but
was there for quite a while. One guy had a 2 foot ring of light he shot
through looks like he made it himself.
