All joking aside, we all know what pre-visualization means by the way people use it. But I think the term should simply be visualize. "I can visualize what my end result will be." I don't think it's possible to "pre-visualize what my end result will be." Unless we can go back in time. I'll stop now. This isn't Leica stuff, or even related. And I don't believe Lanting uses a Leica. Jim
