Some of these guys think this is a little enclosed north American collection and forget we are international in scope. Besides that, I don't know how this LUG gang have had the wheels fall off this thing the past couple of weeks and all the space, time, adnauseum of things totally out of context regarding Leica. What I find amazing is that no one relates to what they do in the real world in using their cameras, other than I'm a street photographer or some other nondescript nothing! Their experiences could be a great learning vehicle for everyone, unfortunately we see nothing pertaining to "use" and how they did something. The questions of "how to clean" etc. are fine, as that is part of being in here to ask and receive answers. I believe there is a wealth of interesting stories from assignments and picture taking, that could make this group far more interesting, than the constant babble of which lens has the most widdgetts or whatsits. Then when we do have a move from the mechanics, it goes completely crazy into some fun things, then ridiculous and finally into the last touches of idiocy. Time for everyone to get back on track, and for heavens sake lets exchange some real life experiences so others can and will learn, how and where to make the Leica a far more effective producer of world class photographs. ted grant Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
