Mark Hama (www.markhama.com) did a stand up job on my Canon P. He may 
have spares. Let him know I sent him by your way.

I've seen many Canon parts RF cameras on the auction site.

OK, before I get accused of talking about Canon cameras on a Leica 
list :-), I've noticed that you don't see that many Leica parts 
cameras on the auction site. Why is that?

  1. They never break
  2. They're always fixable
  3. People throw them away if they're broken beyond repair
  4. Sherry and DAG have cornered the market on parts cameras
  5. Evil Solms is behind this.
