Now that you are living the La Dolce Vita in France I thought you may have an old leica or to you would let go really cheap, you know, just to give you some more cupboard space.

Well, now that you mention it, I am getting rid of two M2 Leicas...

Of cours there's a premium for their history (me!)

Cheers,

Alas, quite possible. But not so much, I think, when walking from the Messe to the hotel a mile away on the other side of the Rhein. It just gets humid inside a Billingham jacket on a cold day.

Dear John,

Souns fair. Plus half a grand for the rapid load conversion, which is VERY hard to find nowadays.

Then there's postage and packing...

Oh, yes, and the EU environmental disposal charge. There mus be some APUG members among those bureaucrats. One of the earliest warnings in the Leica M8 instruction book is something like, "Do not dispose of this camera in household rubbish."

I kid you not!

Cheers,
