[Leica] Re: An interesting development in connection with pictures

I hear you F?lix. I have a couple of T4's and a couple of Olympus My 
models (one 3.5 and one 2.8 lens). The Yashicas are very, very good.

I'm not worried about thieves or getting my Leicas stolen. It's the 
police I'm cautious with. They are very suspicious of anything that 
looks like a journalist (journalists are not allowed into the country).

But no big deal. I've gotten some really nice results with the little 
T4. The color shots here were taken with one of them and Agfa CT Precisa 
100:
