Every so often, I take it out of a case and find that I forgot to turn the shutter speed dial to "off." So, I'm a bit paranoid about always having a spare battery. Shortly after returning to Main after the wilds of Nova Scotia, we passed a real camera store in a small town in Maine. As I was asking about a battery for the Leica, I saw a monstrous F5 in the showcase in front of me. While I was telling my wife to look at that huge hunk of camera, the clerk took it out and handed it to me to demonstrate how much it weighed (less lens, yet). Well, I thought it didn't really outweigh the M6 by all that much, so I took out the Leica and handed it to the her. Her comment made MY day: "Gee, I touched a Leica. It's made my day." - -- Herbert Kanner kanner@acm.org 650-326-8204 Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will pee on your computer! - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
