While we're on the topic of 'invented' Leica model numbers, we should 
add up our M's. So if someone had 2 M2's, he'd simply inventory his 
Leica bodies and say 'M4'.

Like that, it would be much faster, and simpler, for a well-endowed 
emmer to simply say 'I've got an M25'. That would open a world of 
possibilities in guessing what it actually is... (22 M1's and an M3?)

... G' night...
