No to the first, yes to the second. There is a huge myth about the late SS's above 1,000,000, but, like many photo myths, it is a myth. Probably the best-build M3's are the epic "First 10,000" DS's, as Leitz exercized very careful QA on this run. Probably the best buy are the very late DS's, as the collectors seem to have passed these puppies by. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
