Hi Hamey

Nice shot, lovely loco - God-awful paint job!

(Why didn't they just paint it black?)

I'm kinda liking the paint job. It's got (from a current perspective) a cool retro look.

Ken,

Nice one..., and MY real camera (SL) still works!

Thank-you Gentlemen..

She is in the shops for a major refit, and I think she might appear in her original black livery.

Wiliam.

As I am getting older it got harder to focus the SL as I needed a diopter, unlike my other Leica's such as the R7,8 and 9 which have an inbuilt one and much easeir to focus, and of-course take all my newer lenses.

But sometimes, I miss the old girl , specially that shutter.

Ken.
