Re: [Leica] How radioactive are Leitz lenses?

["Tom Schofield" <tdschofield@email.msn.com>]

Just don't carry the lens in your pants pocket if you desire children in the
future.  Maybe that's why the original Leica M Classic bag had the lens
pouches to the outside of the main compartment -- to keep the radioacitve
lenses further from the wearer! Hmmm, wasn't Leica producing the radioactive
lenses at about the time they added neckstrap lugs, so that you put the
camera around the neck rather than in your pocket, so as not to reduce the
pool of future leica owners?
