I still have this camera, and it still works perfectly. The lens takes extraordinarily fine pictures. Therefore, one might say: 1. Leica produces cameras which are anachronisms in today's market. 2. Those who use anachronisms are them selves anachronistic. 3. The LUG is therefore a list for anachronists. 4. The most anachronistic Leicas are the basic Barnack designs, the last of which are the scew mount Leicas. 5. Therefore, the most suitable topics for the LUG are those that deal with screw mount Leicas. See - Walter has me writing in list form now... With tongue firmly in cheek, Will von Dauster
