I changed majors and now I am a photographer... I do use 3 systems..... Canon FD for travel and macro, Canon EOS for portraits, events, flash photography and anywhere I need motors, zooms and longer lenses as I shoot a lot of images between about 150 and 200mm... I use Leica M whenever possible for available light and situations where I am working at 3 to 10 feet from people. I shot 12 rolls of film last week with my M's if that makes you feel better... And I'm working at the moment on some B&W scans of stuff I shot at our hospital with my M... But I've shot 18 rolls this last week, mostly portraits and a radio tower raising with EOS.... I have days where I would like to shoot more with the M's..... but when I get a couple of contacts with a lot of unexpected flare in the images... I come close to putting them up on E-bay. BTW.... George and I both shot with non Leica SLR'S and Leica Ms while he was here... Duane (I'm a not a dweeby engineer-type) Birkey Duane's Photographs of Ecuador http://duane_birkey.tripod.com
