Bonsoir capitaine Franckiy,

  Bravo pour cette coupe du monde.  Magnifique gardien de but que vous avez
la.  Peut etre un digne successeur du legendaire Jacques Plante (Gardien des
Canadiens de Montreal).  On en a pas suffisamment parle de votre gardien...


  About the M5, in my opinion for a Leica User, it is the very best.  You
get: a) TTL metering  b) large speed dial  c) speed visible in the finder
d) aperture direction (open/close) scale  e) a continuous metering scale, so
you know when you are 3,2,1 stop off, then on target, as opposed to the M6 s
on/off after one stop digital scale  f) a ratcheted rewind crank that does
not spin back once it is advanced  g) true Leitz (notice the word Leitz)
craftmanship.

  I rest my case.

  Regards

  Robert
