HI Eric,

Hell some of these guys still whining over pressure plates? Instead of
whining why don't they just clean and polish it themselves and get it to
hell out of the way?

I had three M4's that did that when I got them out of the box. "ALL AT THE
SAME TIME!"  Only difference was I didn't have time to whine and whine or
an internet thingie to complain to the world. I fixed them myself with a
good old fashion elbow grease rub down!!

I fixed them and just moved onto the next assignment. After that, any
scratches were my own stupidity in processing the film. :)

But that was then and this is now with the new "Internet whine connection" :)

OK onto the next exciting LUG item.:)

What the heck have you guys been doing for the past couple months?  Just
bitching or learning something new and interesting about photography with
Leica cameras and lens?

<<<<And Leica has always stood behind their work. At least for me. So I don't
worry about it.>>>>>>>

Gee I wish they were standing in front of me when that old cow let go all
over me and the Noctilux last year! :)  I know, new comers wont know what
the hell it was all about. Well the quick story is, an old cow shit all
over me and a couple of M6's while I was doing a photo essay on
veterinarians. :)
