Tina's choice of Leica seems natural and insightful taking her marvelous 
body of work into account.  I can hardly imagine her, with the subjects I'm 
now familiar with, being there toting about a Whammoflex.

Again while Phil's woes seem to be way off the bottom of the graph Tina's
seem to be way off the top. Or visa versa. As a Leica optimist I'd love to
believe Tina's and totally ignore Phil's but can't totally do neither.

I think The new Digital M is going to work. And do a lot of fine work by a
lot of dedicated people.
