This is the second time this is on the board. But anyway Larry I went and got
two copies of  Newsweek and when we're in DC in October we're going to go see
Fred's showing and I'll try to get him to sign them for me. Thanks again for
the heads up.

Did any one see the latest issue of American Photo. (Best cover shot of the
year-me thinks-Heidi Kulm in all her glory) They did an editors choice and not
one 35mm LEICA product, other than the $12,000 Digital. Don't you ALL THINK
they need their Mail boxes full of Letters of Discontent from this Group???
Every cheep and bad lens made it, but NOOOOOOOOO Leica offerings.
Cheers Wilber
