It was a brilliant advertisment for the Leica M3 and, of course, the 35 mm Summaron with goggles. The camera looked just so iconic in that programme. Secondhand prices will lift, so that gladdened my heart as I have one! However, I'll never sell it. Didn't realise the programme was going to be on as I would have posted to the list beforehand to tell people to watch it. Luckily, my wife called me just before it started. On Jarch?, he did take some great photographs and he'll be a lot more collectable in the future. I'm sure the Suchet brothers will be delighted with that too, as I'd imagine they'll have some :-) Douglas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerry Walden" <gerry.walden at me.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 7:25 AM Subject: [Leica] James Jarch? There was a great programme about English press photographer on ITV1 last night here in England. Jarch? worked for Fleet Street for his whole career and produced many iconic images. He was the grandfather of David Suchet (aka 'Poirot') who narrated and took the major part in the programme, reconstructing many of Jarch?s iconic images using his original Leica M3 (including a wide angle with specs!) It turned out that Suchet was an accomplished photographer in his own right. I have no doubt that you will be able to catch up with the programme on ITV Player (www.itv.com/itvplayer) but it is too early for it to be there yet - well worth an hour of your time.
