Subject: RE: [Leica] Full circle with Nikons

I bought my F3HP (used) in 1988.  It put me through college with about 4 
years of daily, motor-driven activity.  I loved that camera.  Then it got 
stolen in 1999.  I replaced it, but then I discovered Leica, and the F3 has 
been lonely since.  Soon I'll probably sell my F3.  I love my M6 too, but 
it doesn't see as much use *or* as much fondling (yes, it's true) as I gave 
my original F3.  Can I still play on the LUG?
