I tell you, those M bodies are real sissies. You sneeze at them and their rangefinders go out of whack. They're sturdy cameras ... as long as you don't need to focus too much. As it was, I had the 21/4 Skopar on so it didn't matter much. This is an overview. I was on top of one of the cairns (pre-historic). The glaciers dumped all the boulders here when they stopped. That heather is treacherous. You don't really know what is under it. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album40/04v45_0002 The coastal area, plain, is wide and shallow here. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album40/04v45_0003 Anyone wanting to farm the area has to constantly clear the fields of boulders. They "grow" here. They work themselves up to the surface constantly. Farmers clear them away and make fences with them. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album40/04v45_0004 I was halfway expecting to see Graham down at the end of the road, hustling away from the cows. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album40/04v45_0005 Now to find someone to adjust my rangefinder. The screw is a little to tight for my taste and I don't have a proper screwdriver (you have to do it at an angle). Daniel
