Graham,

 

The lens is a bit dirty, but at least it gets used. With the old 35 lux, keeping the front element clean is a nightmare. The 12504 hood leaves a gap if you have filter. Anyway, I can't find one at any reasonable money. I just shoot it bare.

 

As for the camera, it's funny isn't it. I only did it spontaneously, thinking an autograph on the top plate would be a bit different to putting it in a book. Now it's just getting in the way of me using it. I'll just have to revert to the M2.

Charlie - just kidding about the lens. As you said, it's being used and that's what's important! I hate seeing Leicas being treated like fashion accessories instead of being used & abused.

 

I confess that imants note about the oil made me smile too.

I feel pity for the poor M6. You need water and sponge...........................to wash off the silly stain

 

I guess that it need alcohol or so then you can use the camera again as usual.

Tomas,

 

I think I'm the one that needs alcohol! I think I'll just use my M2 for a while.

 

Best wishes,

So he's a complete twat then?

 

Charlie, if you don't clean that camera soon, it will be worthless.

Such a pity the autograph is not on the front element of your lens.
