Sorry about that, Dick. I had forgotten our previous off line
correspondence where we learned that both of us are just a pair of retired
old fools.
Interesting side bar. I was talking to a Leica buddy this afternoon and he
was telling of a couple of aquisitions to his stable. Recently back from a
trip to Montana he was bemoaning the weight of what he used to think of as
a modest hiking bag of equipment.
We concluded that by the time we reach the age that we can afford some
more Leica gear, we're too old to carry it all to the sites! Life's a
b...h!
