Hi Rei,

Do you have a treasury of all these lovely Leica old stuff?

Saludos cordiales

here's a summarex of my daughter kitty.

http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/shino/kittarex.jpg.html

i like the lens.  i got it on a whim from eb*y a couple of years ago after i
got a IIIf and hankered a couple of LTM lenses to go with it.  i turns out
not to be such an easy lens to use with an LTM (the big shade covers those
little windows, and you have to use a finder) but works quite nicely with
the m8.
