[Leica] Re:Keeper cameras

As you type, I am buffing the back of my Rolleicord, having just given it a
nice smearing of Kiwi shoe polish. I cannot imagine that it looked better
when it left the factory. Fresh Kiwi Leather Dye followed a day later by
fresh Kiwi Shoe Polish (buffed with 100% cotton makeup removing circles)
really does great things to 50-year-old leather.

And if you do not want to pay $$$ for a Rolleiflex, Rolleicord's are just as
good.
