You must be joking!  I have switched 'tween right hand drive cars
in the UK and Japan to left hand drive in the US, without a thought.
That is a lot more difference than models of Leica!  Don't make a
BFD over it.  Just pick up the cameras and use them.  You are no
more incompetent than I am.  I am 74 and not fixed in my ways,
You should be better.
