Every Post Exchange and BX had a nice camera counter with a full stock of Leica, and several other nice cameras. ============== My experience as well. I bought an M3 in 1966 at a PX in VN, with 50mm DR Summicron for $352.50. Then got an M2 body from Hong Kong for $131, new. Still have both. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
