the piece show where the DMR is relative to the competitors, but not  
even the best of the competition...it gives some impressive of the  
evolution of the field, what is needed, and the reality of Leica's  
glacial speed in coping, adjusting and keeping up.  The DMR is just  
barely out, and it is already seriously out of date.... in need of  
new software and basically a new update.

Well, who gives a flying------...?

I spent all morning shooting bw film, M3  50/2.8 Elmar...

what fun, and (later) what great images to share....
