You are right of course - how is Mr Rosen getting along? :o) Seriously, there is a connection. The "process" (by which I mean the type of camera) is important (to those on the Leica list) just as it is to many many of the proud "look at these fantastic digital pictures" who show their crap snapshots. Why say "digital" at all? I've never felt the real urge to say my pictures are taken with Canon EOS - though occasionally I'll mention the Fujica ST605 for it's antique value. Bob
