Hey Ted! Surely you take first place!! But let's not get carried away
with this.  The "young" ones may not want to fess up.

As a newbie, I dont scratch the surface.  I started using the M6 since
June5th (ha! ha!). Spent 10days alternating between that (in B&W) and an
SLR (using C41 film) during my sojourn in Toronto, Montreal, Quebec and
Ottawa. Too brief of a stay and too long of a drive between cities!  

Photos are in the process of being sorted out so will report later. One
thing's for sure, the B&W photos came out beautifully, whereas my ailing
SLR started acting up (3-4 blank frames per roll) after my round of
shooting Niagara Falls at night. Even with fresh batteries too! ;-)

Later!

A lot of noise was generated over the last day or so about the LUG
hierachy  For instance, how old a person is, or how long a person had
been a member participant in the LUG.  

Instead, I propose a change to this ridiculous pecking order.  The only
criterian that should count is how long a person has owned a Leica.

I have owned a working Leica M2 for 23 years,  Which should make ME the
boss. :-)  :-) :-)

Who will be my second in command? :o)
