I plan to spend the better part of the weekend shooting. dear god, dan! do NOT attempt to remove the leica from the box! that will begin the process of wear and devaulate it considerably. if you were to remove it from the box, for example, and say, take it on safari to africa where it is eaten by an elephant and passed three days later in a swamp outside of narobi, and upon recovery you discover that the light meter has stopped working and the shutter is frozen but is otherwise cosmetically intact, you'll have to advertise it as "MINT MINUS" when you go to sell it on ebay. besides, no one is yet sure what will happen if you try and put film in a leica.... keep it in that box and do all your snap-shootin with a minilux. your best interests in mind, kc
