My secondhand leica stuff has always worked perfectly. > [BOB KRAMER] Can't imagine you're alone in your findings, but having never owned new Leica gear I don't know from personal experience. I certainly have no complaints about my M3 or M4. It's like the estimable Ms. Krauter says, let the lawyers and doctors pay for (and de-bug) the new stuff. The rest of us will gladly use their cast-offs. :-) Bob Kramer (Happy cast-off user since 1981)
