Where the hell is the guy they usally send with the big 4 column camera?" Another time: "OK it looks like you got the right camera this time as I just need 1 column heads of these guys." I had the Leica with a 90mm lens at the time. :) Well you know most editors only know how to write, well some of them,:) and as far as photgraphy goes they really don't have a clue. Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh it is a world to behold at times as news photographers.:) Of course some editors are accoustomed to big slr Canon or Nikons with 70-200 lenses & shades, when you came along with an M camera they just about have a bird. "What's that, one of those disposables? Don't you have a real camera like the other guys" :) ted
