Subject: [Leica] Barnack Award

By the wildest possibility is there anyone out there with an e-mail address
for the head guy who owns or runs the LEICA operation in Germany they could
send to me private??

Given this absolute disgusting award for the Barnack Award.  Basically a
LEICA AWARD!

I wonder what he might think about the re-actions of Leica Users about the
Planet?

I wouldn't have a problem explaining to him just how disgusted we folks are.
Not because we didn't win.  But how disgusted with the "MENTAL MIDGET LEICA
JUDGES"  who made the selection and presentation!

A quiet Saturday afternoon passing thought?

cheers,
Dr. ted

Absolute rubbish. Not worthy of Barnack's name. They have clearly lost their
way
and should think carefully before awarding another prize. May be give it a
break
for a few years.

I don't see any relationship between this work and the spirit of Leica, let
alone of Barnack. If you are going to award a prize in Barnack's name then
it
should show some linkage to the spirit of his work and his camera. A lot of
wet
people on bikes wearing plastic macs just doesn't cut it.
