And yes, the not so hot deals are those that become the roundabouts, or the swings, in compensation... Prototype? What prototype? There are no bargains to be found in Cambridge surely? Certainly not at either of the two classic camera shops there.

Hey Jem - not bad, not bad. My best Leica bargain was a black M2 for USD100 which I picked up in Saigon when the only foreigners in town were the Russians (known as 'Americans without dollars'!). This sort of bargain compensates in a wholly irrational way for the excess funds doled out on non-bargains dontcha reckon? If I told you the prototype was located in a certain well known university town not beginning with an 'O' would that be giving too much away??? Adrian
