Ted, me old married person, haven't you heard about the new Leitz
"Altenumeral" stickers made for just this problem? They are paper-thin
discs plated with your camera's finish.  You you stick them over the "7"
in "M7."  You can get them inscribed "4-2," "4-P," "6" or blank (for the
M2 and 3), depending on what your current camera is. Spouse sees the new
camera, but it looks like the old one, and she doesn't notice a thing.  
Everyone's happy.  Leica sells more cameras.

Cost: $48 chrome, $62 black chrome, $75 black paint, $125 Titanium.
Brassing or zincing added for an additional $25.  Code name HYDME.

, ;-) will think things are peachy keen and the new camera will sort of be
announced after the fact! ;-) hell you don't think I'd tell her before
hand do you? :-)

The secret is to know when it's arriving, have her out doing the mall
thing when it does, out of the box and into the bag, wrapping off to re-cycle
and a week later or so it will just sort of appear unannounced.

Like the hour or before I leave on a shoot so that by the time I get back
she'll have cooled off. :-) That's the plan, don't tell her, I might not
make it to the 53 wedding anniversary! ;-)
