...an M4-P, in terrific condition, at Ffordes photo (UK). If you haven't 
been to this place, GO!!!! The body was 20-40% underpriced, and they had a
far (4x as many bodies) better collection than the 'collector's' stores near
the British Museum. Great, unhurried service, knowledgeable sales staff, and
they test every body for shutter/rangefinder before they sell it. Does it
get any better? The same thing going daily on ebay for more. Go figure.

They have a website at www.ffordes.co.uk with up-to-date stock lists, but it
doesn't reflect the quality of the store itself. Best thing is to email
stevebyford@ffordes.co.uk, and get a personal (and helpful) reply.

I was so impressed I almost bought the company. Okay, I lied. I almost
bought a camera bag. Does that count?
