Hi guys & gals:
Just picked up my 1st M4(!) after years of M3's & an M6 0.85 when it came
out... delighted with the 4 - where I have been??  My 50mm purism is
officially challenged.
Ran through 9 rolls over the weekend feeling the exhuberance of a student!
Will post a few when avail....

- -There is a bit of vulcanite chipping:
http://www.sblutter.com/Chipped_Vulcaite_Steven_Blutter.htm that I don't
want to get out of control.

The patches I did on an M3 with melted black crayon actually still looks
good after 5 - 6 years, albeit clearly amateur but easily removed.

- -I bet you guys have an even better solution - any (at home) suggestions?
Its strictly a user.

Thanks in advance,
Steven Blutter
PS: Anyone have an extra meter for the 4?
