forgot to mention this yesterday, but there was an excellent photo on p.24 of the boston globe yesterday featuring an m camera. in the midst of several israeli soldiers firing their weapons from behind a wall, a corpulent PJ was fumbling with some camera gear. around his neck was a black m6 with either the new 28 summi or the 35 summi asph (lens shade gave it away). it was like a leica ad shot because the PJ was in the very center of the shot AND was in sharper focus than any other figure. a friend of mine saw the same (AP) shot in a philly newspaper (don't know if there is more than one).

title should say "excellent 'm in action' photo." my keyboard skips letters sometimes and i don't really proofread -- a bad combo.

I found the photo in question in a Yahoo slideshow--which can't be linked to (unless you want to wade through 400 photos).

I saved a copy of the jpeg. I don't have a way to post it here, but if someone does, I'll email it to you.
