They are my work-horses when I have to down in sewers or cesspools or other places where I dont want to get my pretty Leicas dirty. Seriously, they were a very advanced and rugged camera for its day. Only problem has been with a faulty advance lever on one, but then many LUGgers have complained about the same thing with their M6s.

Like it was a steal, so I bought Scott two bodies and a few lenses and he has ben hooked on Canon ever since, even thoygh he learned his early picture taking abilities with Leica. >>
