[Leica] Re: Guns and Leicas

[alex at zabrovsky.com (Alex)]

Well, I own more Leica cameras then guns - two Leicas, zero guns. I 
shoot more frames with Leicas then bullets - usually shot 20-40 bullets 
with M16 during my anual reserve military duty, whilst shooting tens of 
rolls a year. I do have respect to a pricese machinery such as Leica 
cameras, but do not particularily attracted by a firearms (only if 
necessary).
