Funny, I never noticed the difference until seeing this discussion and comparing to photos in Laney's Leica Collector's Guide.

In the meantime, I'll just keep using mine. - ---------- > From: Joe Berenbaum <joe-b@dircon.co.uk> > > I've got one and it was (according to the info on Ben's web page) made in > 1987.
