Although I think the official "leica" of the Territories is the Koni Omega - it'll still work down to -45c with that pushmepullyou wind on and giant focus knob when wearing mitts, and you can still use it to like an axe to chip out bits of lake ice to brew tea or whirl it around your head to keep the sled dogs under control - though I'm pretty sure the weight once caused a Skidoo to flip... Now I think about it, the Littman might be too much of a girlie man's camera ;-) tim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
