Douglas Barry OFFERED:
Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica Picture Week

"Naw Douglas don't be embarrassed at all!" I still think it's a neat idea to 
have an all LEICA ONLY photo competion. However we have such a high number 
of excellent photogs on the LUG that have mixed & matched their Leica parts 
with other parts these days I feel a great number of excellent exposure 
makers would be left aside.

In any event maybe another time when LEICA CAMERAS once again become 
affordable for all???????? WHENEVER?

Cheers,
Dr.ted
