Then a gear in the film advance broke and the camera is in for repair...I am not imressed...do you have any opinion on the durability of this camera? I like cameras that don't break... James Mason 12:23 Any working news photographer will tell you, the purpose of a Leica is to hang around your neck for the publicity photo after you win an award.

Get an autofocus camera...otherwise you will miss a lot of pictures. Perhaps as you are new to the list you should introduce yourself. Can we see see any pictures? Or should we just look you up on the Canon list? ;) Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
