But then, she's always had certain hang ups too, like naval officers in dress whites! I have done a grave injustice to the M and Leicaflex series, I have realised. The following set of equations explains all . . . IIIg acquired at age 24 = pickupability rating excellent IIIb acquired at age 29 = pickupability rating excellent M2 acquired at age 30 = pickupability rating questionable Leicaflex acquired at age 53 = pickupability rating zero Now since Leica quality is a constant, it can be removed from these equations without affecting their validity. Thus the truth emerges: age 24 = pickupability rating excellent age 29 = pickupability rating excellent age 30 = pickupability rating questionable age 53 = pickupability rating zero Regards, Doug Richardson - - -- Roger mailto:roger@beamon.org
