After all anything less is a camera is not a Leica, anything less is not a Mont Blanc.

Jem (whose Parker 51 seems to be the epitome of an M-Leica) Jem- - If one's point is to write, a Parker 51 is an excellent choice. If one's point is only to impress, a Mont Blanc will suffice. I use an old M6 and E39 35 summicron...I point I shoot, I take pictures of admirable technical quality. Over and over and over...for years, in fact. Kind of like your Parker. Buzz Hausner
