[Leica] SO YOU WANT TO COVER THE OLYMPICS????? :-)

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (tedgrant at shaw.ca)]

The unfortunate thing is, they have the following or lack of quality gear. 
;-) :

1/ little or no understanding of Leica equipment.
2/ they have no idea what manual focus means.
3/ they wouldn't use the equipment fast enough to photograph a daffodil! Let 
alone a diver, 100meter champion or     free racing swimmer!
4/ no idea how to use the viewfinder on an M body of whatever model and a 
Visoflex ! :-)
    Besides they, like most of us, can't afford the $20,000 or more for the 
800mm super glass of a Leica.

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
