Subject: [Leica] I desperately need a users manual

Have you got any pics on the internet? Post a pic of the camera if you can.
They have all kinds of books on Leicas I'm never known of people needing a
manual. Much depends on the kind of pix you like to do as to how the use of
this camera can compliment this.
