Can't wait to receive them looking at your shots, that, BTW, show that you are a damn good shooter, too. Because a good camera in the hands of a nitwit doesn't deliver such good shots. > From: <pswango@att.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2005 19:59:23 +0000 > To: LUG <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] Jupiter-8 arrives > > Okay, gang.
