I said battery powered manual flash. You wear a Norman or Lumidyen on your belt. And I was under the impression that we all knew that the percentage of photographers at N Geographic who use Leica M was impressive and not as miniscule as in the regular professional world. >From what i can gather from reading Photo District News and just looking at the Fashion magazines I think 35mm dominates over medium format. Half the stuff looks like it was done with point and shoots. The other half with digital point and shoots. :) My real guess is medium format 30 percent.
