Subject: [Leica] CL questions! Not for sale
From: summarex at hotmail.com (Javier Perez)
Date: Sat Dec 24 16:53:35 2005

No problem Doug
I kinda collect the darned things myself. My last score was a Contarex 
Professional with just enough paint loss on the sleeve to make it a user. I 
intend to get a lot of miles out of it!
