I've owned the original Leicaflex MKI, SL, R3 and R4 MOT. They were all good, but I only have the SL left since I really like the way it handled and its ability to run without power. I'd take an SL2 also, but the SL is good enough. The Leicaflex, SL and SL2 are true Leica cameras and not a mix of Minolta/Leica. John W

Apparently is is, Rick.
Gee, if the world were a perfect place salaries would be equitable. No multi million buck salaries + bonus and no minimum wage payroll.
ANYWHERE!
I know that's gonna happen!
OH WAIT! I could make ends meet at $70k/yr...............http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/14/b...ing-a-new-minimum-wage-70000-a-year.html?_r=0

Yup
Oh, indeed, I want to see as many businesses as possible adopt this $15/hour or $70000/year concept. Why? Because if I tried to explain how economically and socially stupid this is, you would simply reject what I have to say and call me a heartless bastard. So, what has to happen is we adopt this and, when it fails miserably 10 years from now, you'll understand. All we will have done is raise the bar for the "poverty" level and lower the incentive to become more skilled.
Why even stop there? Give everyone a new house, nice car, iPhone, etc., just for being born. You want it, you got it. Isn't that where this is headed anyway: not equality of opportunity, but equality of outcome. Minimum wage was intended only to get skills and experience on the path to getting a better job. If too many people today are trying to support a family, own a car, pay for an apartment solely on minimum wage, that's not a problem with the wage - that's a problem with them trying to do too much with too few job skills. I have been there and skimped by with nothing until I could get a better job.
One thing I'll agree to is that we need to bring back trade schools. Another thing that would help is if our politicians actually had owned and operated a successful small or medium sized business.
Already, a woman is complaining that at $15/hour, at Walmart, she can't support her four kids, make car payments, and rent. The path to improvement for her really isn't high minimum wages for everybody, because she'll eventually be back in the same situation. She needs the opportunity to get more skills for a better job.
Also, if a business is going to need to hire someone to sweep the floors and clean, and they have to pay at $15/hr for this, they're not going to hire the zero-experience 16 year-old who isn't likely to stay past summer vacation - they'll hire a more experienced person who has the potential to take on more responsibilities and will stay longer. Or - more likely - they'll hire nobody and just spread that task out among the current staff. So, the youngest, least experienced lose out.
All who like this "living wage" concept should adopt it and live long enough to suffer the consequences.

Nah... let's just bring back slavery.
Google "Slavery today", it was never gone.
The derailment is complete.
Let's run with it!
No, not quite. Slavery is only part 1 of derailment. Waiting for someone to bring up old Adolph.
I like to read the social darwinism BS. It means that evolution has still some leeway...

Hey!
What about buffalo milk cheese? Can you tolerate that?
My issue with buffalo milk cheese is that someone had to milk a buffalo to get it. That's just too creepy for me for some reason. I mean, how to keep all that buffalo hair out of the milk?
ummm... buffalo, not bison (although I must admit to never having seen first-hand a bison udder so maybe they are as hairless as a buffalo udder).
You don't eat pizza ?
I know. But in my mind I picture big hairy bisons when I think buffalo.
Yes, I was joking. Love fresh buffalo milk balls in water. Soft, creamy. Delicious stuff.
I got buffalo balls in milk from Adolph at Goodwill for 20 cents! Score!!
But now he's looking for me with a .50 BMFG...
