Now all we need is Ed (Leica-hasn't-made-a-real-camera-since-they-added flash-sync) ROMNEY to give us lessons on M-repair-with-a- weedeater-and-vise-grips!!!...I'd like that.....I already have his WONDERFUL compendium on vintage radio repair with a belt sander and MINWAX...... Do you suppose Bob Shell uses a Mac?
