Perhaps they found the job daunting (too much St. Pauli Girl* during lunch) and should have left it's operation in Canada where a reindeer* pulls a sled filled with oh 20 or 30 Noctili each one in its own little themal soft case. That's if the rumor is true which I don't think it is. A Noctilux on a Leica with 1600 film gives you the ability to get in those dark alleys and nail those drug users in the act!!! That'll teach 'em!! TRY doing that with a Canon E I E I OH and they'll have you for lunch!! *A large deer (Rangefinder tarandus) of the Arctic and northern regions of Eurasia and North America, having branched antlers in both sexes. * http://www.stpauligirl.com/main.htm Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
