One was in daily papers where a story was reported in the way each paper's typical readership would like the facts to have been. All the papers were different, none particularly accurate. I have worked for many years in motor sport. The journalists have favourites. Whilst the superstars always do well regardless of the press, the other's careers can, and do, grow or wane depending on favouritism. I know well all the top photographers in motor sport, they are very considerate of one another. (On topic) there is great interest in my M6 always. Only 2 use Leica, one (M) for human interest stuff in pits only, the other (R) for everything. Generally AF is only used for snapshots in the pits, for circuit work they are not confident that the focus will not zap off to the background in the heat of the moment of an incident. resisting the temptation to say more Frank
