I was basically disappointed with the Leica stuff (maybe the color coming back will be better) and I was going back-and-forth between two. The other one is: http://folk.uio.no/danielr/images/04v01-0001a.jpg Mind you ... I was not excited about any of the Leica shots. I was going to choose that one, my wife went with the other one. (I had some of her and the kids too ... but they're off-limits :) ). Anyway ... I was trying to figure out why I really didn't like the one that eventually went up. Too busy. Thanks! That damn Rolleicord is my curse. I stick a roll of film in it and I usually manage to get a shot or two that I like. But then again, winters are more Rollei times where I live. The sun is coming back soon :) Best, Daniel On Sat, 3 Jan 2004, B. D. Colen wrote: > Hi Daniel - The Rollei shot is much, much better; at least it is to my > eye.
