[Leica] MAKE IT YOUR OWN CHOICE!

JAY OFFERED:

HI jay, :-) 
I don't think so. :-( As it must be used for a few items more urgent at the
moment. HOWEVER! Do not despair as I have three lottery tickets to be
checked tomorrow and as a faithful , "but foolish believer" I will have won
a bundle, then I'll consider a couple of new picture taking LEICA machines
and possibly a lens or three? ;-)

cheers,
ted
