Perfect. The right place for sure.

I also use a M2 and a few other M bodies including the M8.
I develop my own b&w film and scan it with a Nikon scanner.
I also shoot slides and view them with a Pradovit projector as well.
I have a Visoflex III and Bellows II and many adapters for my LTM  
lens heads and Viso lenses.
I also shoot with the Leica II, III and IIIf.
I use a Gossen Lunasix lightmeter. I also have a Weston Master V but  
I'm afraid it needs repair, if I could find someone to repair it. On  
my old DS M3 I use the mounted Leica M meter as it matches up with  
the old style shutter speeds.
Many LTM and M lenses.

Welcome aboard,
Len
