What's the patina like? :-) Does it come in a bottom padded Charlton 
Heston kinda way? How well can you get it to brass?

Man, we've had some kooky posts this week. John's drunk, Bernard's 
feeling forgiving, Kyle's dishing out the nekkid ladies. Good to be 
alive innit folks?

Just so you know, i've been pulling all-nighters for the last few 
days and i'm in dire need of more Leica relief to distract me from 
academic writing. I'm only getting the digest at the moment, so would 
you all start posting more, and scan more photos for me to look at 
while i'm stuck here. I'm not going to get to bond with my Leica, so 
you'd all better start doing it for me. PLEASE!


Yours in Leica withdrawal.
Keep on Lugging (schnell, schnell),
Gary
