Now, jam some film into that camera and show us your world. Leica's were made to be abused err used and actually work better if you keep feeding them film, lots of film. With about 1,000,000 frames until the shutter finally gives up the ghost you have your work cut out for you. :) Don don.dory@gmail.com On 1/9/07, Alex <alex@zabrovsky.com> wrote: > > Well, just received my so much anticipated M6 after nearly month of > shipments and camera traveling from US to me (I'm in Israel). > What a fine piece of craftmanship !
