I did a lot of studying before this purchase, and felt it was the best buy for the money.  I used it for years, and still have it, though I journeyed through a variety of other cameras as eyes aged, etc.

Though my Leicas were retired when I changed to digital, I still enjoy the camaraderie of the LUG, and find the Gallery irreplaceable.

Thanks Jim.

I'm enjoying this thread.
Hope others are too.
