The cashier noticed it and said, "Wow, what an old camera.". I hung my head and with a very sad tone replied, "It's all I can afford right now.". I love doing that.<< Great response! I had the M4-P sitting on my desk at work the other day and a coworker came in to discuss some work related issues. He saw the Leica and said, "What a neat old camera." I was taken aback a little and told him it wasn't really very old, made in the early 80s. I like your response much better. I bought my Harley Davidson new in 1986. I like to keep it very clean and in tip top mechanical condition. On several occasions folks here at work have commented what a nice old motorcycle it is. Several have asked how long it took me to restore it. I told them it has never been restored and that I bought it new and just like to take good care of it, and then leave them to their own thoughts. :-) Regards, Don
