Aihe: [Leica] A very very cute story...


>I'm so excited that I have to write you this...
>
>My fiancée and I will be married this 16 of september.
>This morning, I was walking around a well known camera dealer in brussel
>(near St. Boniface for the belgian people) and saw a Leica M3 in the shop. I
>entered, inspected the camera, and baught it. I had the plan to offer it to
>my girlfriend, as a wedding gift. This was so because I ennoy her now for
>more than six months with all the Leica docs I collected from the web,
>because I'm fond of the M6. Listening to me with such a kindness, she didn't
>stay unreceptive to the Leica addiction, and found the M3 the best camera of
>all. So, I come back home this midday, with a mystery look on my face, and,
>in a sudden, give her the camera. She was totally astonished by it, then,
>with also another, even more mystery look on her face, she asked me if I
>wanted also a wedding gift now, because it wasn't complete yet. I said yes.
>and then... ho, what happend, she gave me a brand new M6 TTL 0.72 silver
>chrome, apologizing herself for there was not yet the 35 summicron asph with
>it. The rest is a little bit to intimate to describe, but, ho boy, what a
>day!!
>
>This is totally real, and if not, I don't want to awake, what a wonderful
>girl I have...
>
>The M3 is an early one, double stroke, sn 740198, with a summicron 50 sn
>1442083
>The M6 has sn 2495878.
