Perhaps Leica should advertise their yearly calendar (the large version)
more vigourously. I have been collecting them for the last four years. It
is hard to believe that the pictures on them were taken with a 35mm camera.
The only problem with the calendar is that it is too good to put up on the
wall. I may accidently write a note on it (treat it like a wall calendar!).
