I heard yesterday an even stranger story of some unearthed Leica gear. A fellow turned up in a camera shop with nearly a dozen M1s, MDs and similar cameras and asked if they were interested in buying them. 'Yes, we would be', replied the shop, which please the chap greatly as he had discovered them in a skip outside of Manchester University disposed of by a scientific department! Sadly, here at the BBC where I work I learnt that a Hard Bed 20"x24" dry mounting press had also been consigned to the rubbish! Worth a few pounds to the right people, even scrap metal merchants! Jem
