I'm not sure if it's because they don't understand black and white or because they don't care for it. And I'm amazed how much they lop off the edges - which spoils everything.)<BR/><BR/>LucyLucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664294564074355148.post-51284792273329357062009-02-09T17:43:00.000+00:002009-02-09T17:43:00.000+00:00I did retire it, but wouldn't part with it!

I would like to get the M8 digital version that would take the same lenses but at about £3000 or $6000 maybe not just yet.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05565371216691963227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664294564074355148.post-51477697321206826662009-02-09T16:13:00.000+00:002009-02-09T16:13:00.000+00:00You retired a Leica!
