But don't you just love it when a guy goes out, kicks ass with a Leica 
rain or shine or cracker crumbs! And comes back with good stuff! :)

Hang in there Brian keep the faith brother, it really is a hard working
camera and not to be treated like a wet nosed puppy! '-)

Hell Solms wouldn't know what to do with a guy who shoots good images in
making the Leica work!
Just keep shooting despite the hail of cracker crumbs and rain drops on
the lens, as in the end it's the guy holding the camera who makes it do
it's stuff and reaps the glory!  Or something like that! Just keep
smiling at the world and don't give a hoop as long as you're truly
having fun and snapping away!  Is there anything else that counts? :-)
