[Leica] The M9 Has Supernatural Powers

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

I think incidents like these burn a permanent path in our synapses. The 
chances of it happening again, at least to us amatures who give?up our 
children's education to purchase these wonder items, are very slim.

There is always now that brief pause before moving on, "do I have 
everything?!"

Let's hope so anyway :-)

Neil,

it is like a happy ending nerve-breaking hollywood movie.

I have similar experience with my M6, 35 cron and 75 lux during my
flight from osaka to Honolulu.

We left the plane to take care of my 4 little daughters, at the Visa
counter I just realized my camera bag was fogotten left on the seat.
It took me 1 hour to find that the plane crew found it.
