Similar to the Grey Hound Rescue people who find homes for dogs when their 
working lives at the dog track are over... except in reverse.

Today, The Leica Rescue Unit liberated and M6 and 90/f2 (MADE IN CANADA!) 
from a collector who left his lonely Leicas on a shelf in a wood paneled 
office.

We promise to give them a good home where they can live out their lives 
working with other Leicas doing what they were bred to do .... TAKE PICTURES!!

They will cast off their lens caps and fancy display boxes and join other 
Leicas in a Domke bag and travel the world getting dinged and scuffed while 
documenting the human condition and earning a living for their owner and 
their new family.

....anybody looking for a cheezy plastic white display box with tacky red 
velour inside?  If not, #1 daughter will use it for a salad bar for her 
Barbies.
