If anyone does not remember such things as troublesome R8's and their winders, or defective M6 film counters or M6 film plates that scratch the film, all they have to do is check the LUG archives, not to mention the Minilux of a few days ago. Of course it's anyone's choice if they want to only see part of the picture, but likewise it's the viewer's choice if they don't want the picture cropped. Likewise I don't think anyone except Brian Reid gets to set LUG content. geez, there have been a lot of dumb discussions on the LUG, but this is new one. LUGers claiming we should not discuss something about Leica pushes the LUG to a new low point as far as I am concerned. Stephen Gandy
