Very nice Lecia store, and nice people. Neat camera collection, old book sales, good darkroom department, etc. I got to fondle the Series 0 there. Very cute. That viewfinder is just what V*********** (is that better, Marc?) needs for the 12mm so you don't shoot your feet (or stomach for some of us)! They wanted $3000 for it, and since the several on ebay hadn't even reached the $2495 MAP price, I wasn't in a rush to pay a premium on impulse! Leica should make that case in an M6 size for the body and collapsible Elmar, it's really nice. I'd buy the lens to be able to use the case! Too many special editions all at once -- LHSA models, Series 0, and Joseph's Greenies coming soon! Tom Schofield >Subject: [Leica] Series O > I had the opportunity today to handle the above camera.
