I just got back from the Boston (Waltham) show. (Well worth the 3 hour drive south!) Having been "shooting for dollars" since 1985 all over the country and this was actually my FIRST ever camera show that my schedual has allowed. I'm extremely glad that they are only intermittent, 'tis an experience that I could easily become addicted to. Thanks in part to all of those of you who were so kindly helpful and forthcoming on information about the M5, I purchased one of the three Black's that were at the show! I got a nice three lug, post 134XXXX model. I wouldn't have had a clue, of what exactly to look for without Ms. Krauter's most kind assistance in looking them over for me and giving me some recommendations. She also saved me a few bucks in the barter process by pointing out a few minor lacking points on the otherwise excellent body that I ended up with that I wouldn't known to look for. What a font of knowledge (and wry humour.) So now I have had my full sized M (REALLY full sized!) for a whole 9 hours and I've already put four rolls through it! Can't wait to get to the processor's place early in the am to see what I get back. I am going to have happy photographer dreams tonight! Also can't wait to find a flash bulb holder to fit it with and to start playing with some fill flash ala sylvania (or whatever I can find!) Thanks again!
