Thanks for sharing so many Leica personal experiences. I enjoyed every word of your long posting. Re the comment above, I printed both Leica and Nikon negatives every day for a few months in 1967-68. I was slowly converted to Leica because of that special sparkle in the shadow areas of the negatives. A perfectly exposed Leica neg was just delightful to enlarge. Within a few months I had my own used black M2. In fact, with Tom's black Rapidwinder on my old M2 and a 35mm Summicron, I may have to just go do a little downtown street shooting in honor of HCB's 90th. . . Gary Todoroff Tree Lugger
