Kyle,
how about those images you took with Leicas for FOM2? 

Cheers

the following is a true story:

interviewer: "mr. cassidy, is it true that leicas are the best cameras and 
that all the best photographers use them?"

me: "it's so true that i put leica stickers on all my cameras that aren't 
leicas."




today jim shulman showed up with an m3 with a voightlander 35 1.4 on it. i 
actually took a photo with it. it took me a minute and a half to figure out 
how to operate the light meter, focus, and remember which framing lines were 
35 on an m3.

but the important thing is, i took a photo! and how it made me miss my m3. 
we live in a sad world where cameras have become ... inelegant.
