I wonder what a camera like that should be paid for. The one I saw today afternoon has a very nice look. it was inside a window shop standing there looking at me, praying, crying, shouting: please help me, take me with you, load me some film and take me outside for a walk, I'll do the best for you... and other things very hard to say here without others considering to take me off list. ;-) regards - -- Pablo Kolodny www.pablokolodny.com > From: John Collier <jbcollier@powersurfr.com> > Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Date: Mon, 03 Sep 2001 20:17:00 -0600 > To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> > Subject: Re: [Leica] when ?/M2 black > > Go here and scroll down for the official list: > > http://www.cameraquest.com/mtype.htm > > The problem is that cameras can be "genuine" black paint cameras and not be > in the proper serial number range.
