The girl was obviously just playing with the press. Pretty dumb to condemn a pretty girl for something we have all done. If you have not done it, then either you don't use lens caps or you never shoot. I have stopped doing it, as I never use lens caps anymore. Sonny In a message dated 10/2/2005 10:00:23 P.M.

She probably just got exasperated and decided to point *her* camera at *them.* In other words, she may not have actually been trying to take a picture. If she was, the Digilux 2's electronic viewfinder would have very quickly "told" her that something was wrong. In this respect, she has an advantage over us M users. It's also quite possible that she took the cap off a moment later, but a photo of that would not be as funny as the first. Nor would if fit popular preconceptions. As for not reading music, no less than Irving Berlin never learned that skill. Along with many of the rock icons my generation and younger worships. Sir Paul McCartney comes to mind. I don't say that this is good, only that it is so. --Peter At 06:39 PM 10/2/2005 -0700, you wrote: >L.O.L. - great shot!
