[Leica] I may buy another film camera...

[philippe.orlent at pandora.be (Philippe Orlent)]

That's why I bought a Fuji GS645 (after a remark about it from Sonny)  
from KEH last week. They rated it 8+, so in fact it's virtually new.
It gets pretty hard to find 120 film though. Kodak Portra 160VC is  
the only thing I found closeby. I was hoping to find Fuji Reala 100,  
but might have been too much to ask.
