But why is it that when I see "LEICA USERS GALLERY" I kind of assume these are going to be Leica pictures. Isn't that crazy!? And if they were not they should SAY SO although I would not permit them to be on there in the first place if that were the case. Put them on the "general photography Gallery" street shooting gallery, whatever. This one says "Leica" and people are going to see BD's excellent shots, go out and buy a Leica and be disappointed with the shots they get. Or they might certainly blame it on that. Why give them that point regardless of the weight you give that. A camera is a camera is a camera world not obviously be the opinion of a camera specific list or gallery. Especially an elitist Leica one! Love that Olympus glow though! Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/ _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
