LHSA stands for Leica Historical Society of America.  That?s the old name, 
although the logo is still being used.  The new name is The International 
Leica Society, and while there are still many interested in and use the old 
cameras*, it?s much more directed to shooting and processing, and all 
aspects of the technology associated.

*One member shoots with an M2, among other cameras.

I?ve enjoyed being a member and attending the events.  The annual meetings 
are good, but I really enjoy the Spring Shoots.
