If the person who is stealing your camera is planning to sell it at a real camera shop and can recognize the red dot then it won't matter cause even if you spraypaint your camera yellow it will still look like a leica, just a rare "special edition" leica. OK, now for a question, I plan on buying a new lense for my M3, (currently I have a 90mm f/4.0 collapsible elmar) I was thinking a 50mm f2.0 summicron but I would considering going wider, my question is how do i use a wider lense when the widest frameline on the M3 is 50mm and how do they bug eyes work? thanx Michael Garmisa------kilemall@shell.excelsior.net------02-May-98 22:27:09 - --------http://shell.excelsior.net/~kilemall/-------ICQ # 11583837------- - ------PGP key at: http://shell.excelsior.net/~kilemall/kilemall.asc------
