Hi George ,
Yeah!  And they gave an earlier model M to the Queen of England and other 
notable musicians! But real working users? Forget it! I've said for years 
Doug Herr in a week could do more to promote Leica equipment than any 10 
others you could think of! It goes right over their heads when it comes to 
common sense impressive photography producers like Doug!
