After reading all the nice replies I have concluded I am not so crazy after all! LOL I gues I am have ANOTHER midlife crisis.

I received the camera today and am shooting ASA (whoops -- ISO) 400 to give it a quick test. The shutter speeds are probably slow. The one second seems slow. The camera was rated at a 9++. It certainly is that and more! It looks almost new. It was recently CLAed by DAG. The Canon lens is absolutely clean and totally clear. Now if I could only find a Bob Schwalberg camera strap.

Please advise me as to the filter size, lens cap, and lens shade for that Canon Serenar 1.9 lens...where I can buy it, etc. The lens collapses just like the Leica version.

How do I post here? I rarely post anything on web sites.

The Navy sent me to Leica School many years ago. It was taught by Walter Heun What a resource!!! A true gentleman of the old school. I learned more him on one hour than I did in years of fumbling around on my own or listening to some others! I understand he is still alive. God Bless Him!
