I'm not sure which model but those who use them swear by them. I just have the business model 900 Stylus which is excellent for my needs but not for serious print work. The quality is there...just not the archival permanence. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lew Schwartz" <lew@clsystems.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Cc: "'Lea Murphy'" <lea@whinydogpress.com> Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2002 10:32 PM Subject: RE: [Leica] Weddings in black and white...thoughts, please > Hi Lea: > Just a sidebar; I'm getting into photography again.
