The mind boggles what it would look like if they decided to have progeny! Given the photos of the paparazzi i've seen recently, empirical evidence suggests Nikon's and Canon's don't have any trouble breeding. I guess i'd better keep the F elsewhere. Also, i've recently had some suspicions that the Rolleicord might be hampering the Amoré for a while. I wonder what's up? I might have to investigate this privacy aspect a little more. Any tips on the Rolleicord? I gotta admit though, i wouldn't mind seeing the Rollei and the Leica breed if they want to as well.

Maybe it is just a little darkness they need, i'll be sure to not put a Noctilux in there, just in case they don't want to be observed. I know the subject line suggests our horrible plight, but the more i think about Pandas breeding in zoos, the more i think the corollary of all of this is that a zoo suggests a menagerie of different animals to help enable a successful breeding programme. Perhaps the true secret of Leica breeding is to just buy more Leica's, or at least give them the impression that you've bought more Leica's? I've got to admit, my collection of accessories has had no such breeding problems. On Richard's suggestion, I'm going to put a couple of bits and pieces with the socks tonight and see what happens.
