Get used to me speaking my opinion freely about the Leicas M8 and M9 for the
duration as I have about all M's on the LUG for 12 or 15 years. I've only
used M6's and IIIf's. I also have opinions about Deardorf and Alpa's.
Most recently as of today I have opinions about the Giroux's daguerreotype
camera, 1839.
But you may not be interested in what I have to say about the Giroux's
daguerreotype camera, 1839 as I may never see one face to face or touch one
or shoot a plate in one.
Feel free to delete without reading.
