Subject: [Leica] RE:Lens Cap-Protect Shutter?

I burnt my first shutter last summer. Took my IIIC to shoot some WWII
military re-enactments. A nice sunny F16 day.
Had holes all over the 2nd shutter when I got home. I was dumbfounded.

SO last Jan I was at a Battle of the Bulge re-enactment & I was terribly
paranoid since I was using my blackIII & a nickel 35elmar.

So of course I kept forgetting to pull the lenscap off the lens

BTW, I shot some kodachrome64. Here in NYC, I found a lab that will get the
kodachrome back to me the next day.

Oh, someone was mentioning movies where the Leica pops up. I was watching
The Longest Day. A pressguy onthe beach is declined the use of a radio. He
goes w/ the trained pidgeons. As they fly the wrong way,He stands up in the
foxhole & one of his 2 leica cases pops open & he has a nice black III
camera.
