I'm sorry for my lack of specificity. By the way, and way OT, I was born in that old cotton textile city, worked a long time ago at the age of 15 as a bobbin boy in a cotton mill near there, fished for horned pout in the dye-stained Blackstone River and, for a short time, worked as a cub reporter for The Providence Journal and took a few pictures with a 4x5 Speed Graphic. I never heard of Leica until many years later. In view of current developments, I hope I live to hear of Leica for years to come. Regards from the mountains of North Carolina, bob cole
