I dunno. My CV 50 f/1.5 looks like it's seen better days already. I'd be more proud in 10 years if it looked like it looks now. I believe wear should be well worn and deserved....

The film back / pressure plate is already wearing a bit thin where my leather case was rubbing on it. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
