[Leica] I am alive thanks for asking

Well, thank goodness! About you, not the M246 file problems.

I am a B&W kind of guy, though as a retiree I’m not sure I could have justified the un-budgeted expense. Serendipitously, my son just informed me that the last print edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, which I impulsively bought a set of a couple of years ago, now sells on the secondary market, like Amazon and eBay, to collectors for 5-6 times what it cost new–just about the price of the M246! If I could sell mine for that, it would be an un-budgeted windfall There’s a nice symmetry there…
