I still think it's a neat idea to have an all LEICA ONLY photo competion. However we have such a high number of excellent photogs on the LUG that have mixed & matched their Leica parts with other parts these days I feel a great number of excellent exposure makers would be left aside. In any event maybe another time when LEICA CAMERAS once again become affordable for all???????? WHENEVER?
