[Leica]Hello? - With two new images...

[bdcolen at comcast.net (B. D. Colen)]

Having used my Ms this weekend - along with my E-1 and Rollei 6008 - at a
Christening and the party that followed, I was reminded once again what a
rare pleasure the Ms are to shoot with. On the other hand, it's also a rare
pleasure to know immediately what I've got, to have it in both color and
black and white, and to have the kind of flexibility I have with RAW digital
images.....
