In this case, he's simply using a WYSIWYG web page tool that isn't very good. (BTW: Opera is much better with web standards than Firefox2 - try the ACID2 test: http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html) > That was a good read.

I think he inadvertently summed it up with this: "The Leica M3 of the 1950’s was an instant success, not because Leica held to quaint design and outdated technology (i.e. the M8’s removable bottom plate) in a misplaced effort to attract classicists, but because they used new technology to build a camera that was on the cutting edge of its time." Leica isn't building cameras for him, the real photojournalist, but for "classicists", the kind of Leicaphiles who now constitute the majority of their customer base. >>> http://web.mac.com/kamberm/Leica_M8_Field_Test,_Iraq -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
