However, two things to note: the neck strap can be very difficult to remove (it has to come off to remove the chimney for sidelight) and I've seen a number of used pieces that had very severe cleaning marks. This leads me to suspect that the front element might be a bit "soft" and prone to marking. Bryan - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
