I'm proud of you, Peter. No-one on this list will ever deride you for 
posting pictures, late or not. You shot it with film and you
even have an analogue TV.
I have a magnificent Loewe Aconda from before they were overwhelmed by the 
digital tsunami.
Hey that's almost on topic, it's German!

Cheers
Hoppy

Happy New Year, everybody!  Here is the first second of 2007:
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/album170/3696-11HappyNewYear.jpg.html>

What's that you say?  Old news?  Yeah, sorry.  It was on a roll of film I 
didn't finish until January 18th, the night I shot that cello 
recital.  Then I had to get the film developed, and work up the recital 
pictures first.

Now, if I had an M8, I could have posted this admittedly worthless photo on 
Jan 1, when it was fresh news.  Instead of now, when the event has long 
passed into the dustbin of history.

M6TTL, 35/1.4 Asph, Neopan 1600.  Like, *so* 20th Century.  Totally.

--Peter
