[Leica] URL: OT lens testing

[Jim Nichols]

I suppose I have made my share of them.

I was in the USAF when I started with the Leica, and had some 
"enablers", but also some good teachers.  I soon graduated to bulk 
loading Plus-X, and even bulk-loading Kodachrome movie film. Shooting 
slides, in my case, made me more careful, to keep the success rate 
fairly high.

I don't recall ever leaving the lens cap on.
