Bulloney. No one kicked him off or suggested he leave. I wonder if he left because he got what he wanted. Should we expect the next question to be, "where can I find an ASPH Summicron-M 35 for $100, in any condition?" Certainly if you need an M-enabled camera you need the lenses too. Otherwise, why wouldn't you ask around for a $250 Bessa-R (a lot easier to find)? Of course, if you sold two IIIc and two lenses, you could buy a decent M4-2. Sounds like a 1-man photgraphic welfare state to me. I think that Steve has a much bigger heart than I do -- When I was 24, I was using a 27-year old handmedown Autoreflex T. Leicas? Ha! Didn't own an M6 until I was almost out of postgrad studies (and that consumed nearly all of the signing bonus I got for my job). I find it even less sympathetic when someone comes sniffing around for an M camera at less than the price of a CLA, and it would be his third.
