Subject: More Leica....less politics

Hello Detlef,

The whole point is that Carpa, HCB, or anyone else you care to name are 
all judged by the quality of their work.  Some people are judging Mrs. 
Rienfenstahl solely on the basis of here politics...which like Stephen 
said has no place on this group.

Regards,
Bill Erfurth
