You know, the |friend that she hasn't seen in 2 years, and won't see for another 2 years? Yes --- the machine will get you (never blame yourself). Been there, done that...but I usually only lose about three frames. Usually it is because I thought the camera was empty of film. Whoops...didn't know the camera was loaded and I am so, so sorry my friend....(Sung to the tune of I didn't know the gun was loaded...) |By the way, did anyone point out to B.D. that the front side Leica dot on |the LHSA black paint model is molded in black plastic? Probably in his |honor. No stinking red dots on that camera. Does this mean that black dots are available and I can replace the gaudy red dot with an understated black dot? Cool. BD will lose his lock on the black tape market. Bill
