Mr. Littman emailed me last night and apologised for his actions during my vacation. He stated that he had been affected by insomnia and was not himself. He has also stated that he will in fact honor his warranty for my friends camera even though he purchased it in Ebay.

I would think that Mr. Littman is serious and at this point wishes to work with the LF community rather and be isolated. As long as <r. Littman limits his actions to the specific terms of his patent 0Assuming that it remains valid) and leaved Dean, Noah, and others alone understanding that competition is healthy, I find no reason to continue discussing this issue.

Mr. Littman must understand that if market conditions are such that he must reduce his prices, then so be it. If his camers is proved to be so far superior to those made by others, then his camera may certainly be worth the extra money.

Mr. Littman sppears to want a fair resolution to this issue.

Jorge,

Nice idea.

I think that the LF community must all get together on this one.

Am I just getting old and experiencing a problem with cognitive understanding, or does anyone else understand what Willie Littman wrote in the post above?

A close friend of mine purchased a Littman 45 on Ebay. Mr, Littman wrote him by email and threatened him with all sorts of actions for buying it from a third party in violation of the Littman Sales Agreement which my friend was of course not a party to. As I read the email exchanges I could not believe that anyone in their right mind could write such nonsense.

Have you ever read Littmans agreement? What a joke, the guy writes on a 3rd grade level. (I digress)

Anyway, a few months back I considered buying one. I wrote Littman a letter and discussed the purchase of one of his modified cameras. Ultimately I decided not to buy, but in the meantime Littman was calling me on my cell phone during my vacation complaining about my friends purchse. I tried to be cordial, but after a number of annoying calls my wife finally took my phone and made me turn it off.

During the calls, Nr. Littman was irrational and threatened my friend with law suits. Little did Littman know that he was harassing the wrong guy.

Anyway, my personal experiences with this individual has me wondering why anyone would purchase one of his cameras. Besides being incredibly expensive, I found Littman to lack people skills and was nasty, arrogant and obnoxious.

Buyer beware, this guy is not the type of individual that I would do business with.

The above is my opinion based upon personal dealings with the man.

Does anyone have a source for Kodak D-8 and Kodak D-11 film

developers. I checked with Calumet and B&H and they only stock

D-19.

The polaorid chocolate is a lovely print medium. I forget the real

name however. I saw some images produced by Joyce

Tenneson done on this polaroid material, very very nice.

I own a 80XL for about a year now and have found it to be an

excellent, small, lightweight and sharp lens. Now let me say that

I am not a technician and have not tested it against my 110 XL

but I can see no critical difference.

<p>

Perhaps someone else has tested the lens for resolution.

<p>

I enjoy using it and have no intention to sell it for anything else at

this time.
