Please don't take it too offensive. :-) # it is one reason why I let my Canon go, though... I know the brand name is taken after the first # Leica-type camera in Japan... Kan-Won is not a god, but it is very hard to explain. It is an imaginary figure in Buddhism study. A "what if" figure. Relatively close to "god" as an idea, as some Japanese sects of Buddhism is quite different from others. Japan is quite a long way from India, thus there are a lot of differences between traditional Buddhism and Japanese Buddhism. ie. some influences from Chinese Nestorians. An imaginary grace-god. It is a very common knowledge here. (There also are Heaven and Hell concept in some Japanese Buddhism sects, but also explanation figures and, at the priest level, they do not really believe in them.) I respect Gautama as a philosopher or a thinker. This is as far as I know about buddhism. If I don't like dogs, I might not even think about getting some Max Berek designed lenses. It means that little. Well, that's all. Let's get back to the subject. ;-) Tom K.
