[Leica] IMG: my new rangefinder

[lug at steveunsworth.co.uk (Steve Unsworth)]

Hi Nathan

I don't think these are amongst the best things you've ever posted, but if
the weather in Belgium/Holland has been as bad as in the UK recently I can
understand why. At least you know the camera works :-)

Perhaps MF is catching. I bought a Rolleiflex last week! Only one roll
processed so far, but I'll try and post something before the end of the
year.

Steve
