RE: [Leica] Summarit take apart?

Hey Martin!

	If I wanted to become one of those people trained in the art, I
would apprentice myself to someone who knows the art rather than try and
teach myself through experience and on-line advice only.  Disassembling and
reassembling precision photographic equipment only faintly resembles the
same activities with a '74(?) Continental.  By the way, I hope to hook a
ride in the Long Boat the next time your near Boston.

Ah, but how do you become one of the fine people trained in that art, if not
by practice?
