My iPhone cost $1000 or so, which is more than some Leica branded cameras
go for.   I can run Photoshop on my phone, and post to my web-site or
Facebook, or share with someone in moments.

The quality, if I'm careful and use my knowledge, with some post-production
is as high as you might need, given the limits of Blurb's reproduction
quality.

I've blown some up to 16x20, and they hold up nicely on the wall.

If you limit the book to Leica cameras or Leica Glass, then I'm afraid I'll
be out of the deal, because I rarely bother to hitch my few Leica lenses to
my Sony anymore.

Sonny
