I've thought about selling my older camera equipment, even the Leicas, but it's all so nice to play with and look at even if I don't shoot with it much anymore. I told my wife I'll sell stuff if we ever need the money for food or rent, but that was just to placate her. Actually, I would make her take in laundry first ; ) BTW, the Hektor (besides being a sharp lens, I remember an article in the LHSA Viewfinder some time ago about them) and the later Elmar (of which I sheepishly admit to owning both, the Hektor is a late LTM) have one very useful feature, which is a tripod thread (two actually, 3/8 and 1/4). The later 135's put a lot of strain on the M's tripod thread (not to mention being a lot more vibration-prone). DT
