First was a girl on our tour bus in Greece using a M4-2, and the second time was in Tulum where I came across a gentleman changing lenses on his M3 in one of the ruins. I go to a lot of places where there are photographers, like vintage car races or airshows, and I'm the only Leica in the bunch. I sometimes get comments, usually from older gentlemen than me [I'm 45]. Funniest remark was this last summer, I was changing lenses and a man walked up to me and in an excited voice said " What kind of camera is that?" "Leica", I said. "What model?" "M2", " I had an M2, an M3, and an M4! Sold them! Biggest mistake of my life!!" and walked off..... Scott
