Thus, he has instructed the gnomes of Solms to pre-mar the finish of all gray MP's (they come off the production line pristine in their smooth gray finish) so that buyers won't be afraid to USE them. Seems right to me. Seth LaK 9 ;-) - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
