Eric was a big fan of Leica glass, but liked Canon equipment as I
recall. I remember heated discussions about autofocus and how Leica R
was impractical for PJ work because it lacked AF. 

Interesting that Leica has come out with digital Ms and Rs but never an
autofocus body (P&Ps don't count).

As with anything a little web search can turn up most anything:

back in those days I was pretty active on this list posting a fair 
amount, reading a lot making friends.  Where did Donal Philby disappear 
to?  He was one of the most enjoyable posters back then, and became a 
friend.
