So I had some old stuff sitting around unused, two 111c's, a Summitar 50 and Hector 135. I was captivated by his enthusiasm so I sent him that stuff as a gift with no strings attached other than take great pictures. Later on, after a LUG on-line fallout, he sent back one of the 111c's, the Summitar 50 plus a Jupiter lens (which I gave to Todd Frederick on the Leica Forum and so far he has not even acknowlged receiving it). What-goes-around-comes-around. End of story. sl > > > - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
