Tom Stoddart does, so do people like Dario Mitidieri, Claus Bjorn Larsen, Kai Wiedenhofer, Joachim Ladefoged - all fairly young, all recent winners of World Press Photo awards for work from trouble spots such as the Gaza Strip, Afghanistan, various African countries. These are robust little cameras. They're not like Gucci and Ferrari. They're more like army boots and Jeeps. Unlike Jeeps and Hummers though, the Leicas that rich dentists own are the same as the ones in the middle of the action, not some castrated yuppie version. -- Cheers, Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
