Re: [Leica] Hood and cap for 35mm Summilux ?

Some of you newbies gotta realize that Leicas are not like the current
People Magazine , read/use it a few times, then toss it out.  There are
Leicas "out there" and being used that are older than you.  Hell, they
are some probably older than ME.

If some chap picks up a Super-Angulon -M at a garage sale and listens
to you/your techie, he would be SOL on the back cap.

I realize that as a dealer you could not care less about the old stuff,
but there are customers who do.  Don't scare them away to deal
with some of the highbinders who deal in old collectable Leica gear.

Where shall I send the half-firkin now?  Using Austin's definition of
a firkin, of course. :-)
