I've never even been one, but have shot out of several 152's, and to be honest, I prefer a 172. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Nichols Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2012 8:41 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: Cessna 140 Hi Sonny, These little fellows would be a little cramped for photo work, since they only seat two, side-by-side. But, I guess if there is a will there must be a way. As you said once before, Cubs also work great, they are just slow. Thanks for the kind words about the shot. In spite of a Russian lens and a Kodak film that I don't like, it still came out fine.
