Let me introduce myself as Peter Rabaa from Brisbane Australia. I am
a R5 (1990 vintage) user, which has served me well on 2 major trips
to Europe and the UK.
Love your Labrador pictures. We also had had a yellow lab for 14
years, so much fun as our children grew up.
Also interesting is your recent early morning light picture , with
an Australian native "bottle brush " tree in the foreground.
I also have a point and shoot Panasonic xxx with a branded Leica
lens, for the price the pictures are quite good.
I fear in the not to distant future, only in mass produced cameras,
will Leica branding be seen. Because of currency exchange rates
Australian, full genuine Leica quality products are rarely seen
because prices are horrendous and there are now even fewer retail
outlets.
Newer cameras which must move to the digital format will almost
guarantee the demise of the historical and iconic product because of
the price. As a result of the price asked , fewer and fewer clients
will be able to purchase the product.
At least that is what i see happening in the retail and amateur
market, in many parts of the world. Hope that I am totally wrong.
Sadly,you do not seem to have many contributors from Australia
keep up your quality photography with LEICA

Peter Rabaa
thanks so much for writing Peter...good to hear from you, I'm glad you
like the shots of Tikwa, (there will be a book out soon)
we do have a number of Aussies in several of the Leica Fora...

I will take the liberty to send this note to Geoff Hopkinson from
Australia, and invite you to join the LUG and the Leica Reflex
Group...if you are not already a member...
thanks so much again,
Steve
