Bang on, Dan! I lusted for Leicas since the IIIFs came out, but
only began to satisfy my lust in the last 4+ years. Believe me, it
isn't even close to being satisfied.
We were cautioned about anthropomorphising as docents at the
Desert Museum, but heck, that was for animals, so, I can't wait to
introduce you to Gretchen, my M6 and Kurt, my R6.2. (The Ms
gotta be girls - those lines, and the way they fit your hand... Rog,
Rog, snap out of it!)
