Good on you, Ted! Your Digilux snap will be better than anything he ever
takes with his Super camera.

this snotty nosed SOB and I was going to stuff him because as I brought up
the image he said....... "I bet it isn't as good as shooting B&W film and I
know all about that as I've been shooting B&W film for 4 years nearly every
day and my "friends" tell me I take really good pictures !" Me in my
mind....  "Yep I bet you do!" Gagg ed and nearly barfed!

and "UGH not bad! But for 12 Grand I'll still get 2 Canon's just in case I
want to shoot colour. Besides it looks like one of those old time cameras!.
"YEP!" says I as I walked away and tucked my Digilux 2 shooting B&W back in
the bag! :-) "gottcha!!" And smiled!

to love this "Leica spotting story! " Jeeeeeeeeeeesshhhhhh it can make a
guy feel so good when yer not having a good shoot day and you get away with
a little something like that! :-)
