Oops,

What a coincidence!  I dropped my M6 on coarse cement floors last Friday night
due to plain stupidity.   (I thought my bag was zipped and tried some fancy
moves in jumping into my car.  Of coz, I sucked!) .  : (

The top of my camera is scratched and have 2 very minor dents.  First reaction
was $@#$%!  After picking it up and checking the "injury", I was kind of happy
to know everything seems ok.

Just got reminded from Eric's post and feedbacks that this camera is not a
SLR.  I need to actually develop my films to know if there is any damage or
misalignment.

Better keep my fingers crossed.

Best regards.
