Hi!

     Out here in the San Fransisco Bay Area, there was a major fire which
destroyed hundreds of homes and killed a dozen or more people.  The 
local used dealer lived in the area.  In his shop he was displaying for
a while, two cameras which went through the very high temperature.  One
was a Contarex Bull's Eye and the other, I think, a Leica M2.

     They both looked like toast, but I think the M2 kept it's shape a
little better that the Contarex.
