Re: leica Digest V2 #139

Did I sell him a Miranda? No actually Smith was using
an Olympus Pen  F in those days. I specifically
remember asking him- since he did an advert for that
camera what did he think of it- and he loved it. I
never forgot that. I was lucky- a neighbor had one day
told me something to the effect- that since I was a
photographer maybe I'd heard of her cousin. That gave
me the opening to be able to speak to WES. Soft spoken
and unassuming. - vroger
