Now Marc if it's your inquiring mind I'd go for it and you tell us. ;-) As
you well know from military experience, one never volunteers! :-) And having
done the  dung detail once, you surely would understand I'd not want to go
through it again, camel nor cow! ;-)

As I don't think, although the M6 in question has been retired since the M7
became a member of the crew, it would want to go through the endeavors of
cleaning cow s...t off the front element. :-) . Actually I think the event
may have given a better Leica Cow coating to the front f 1.0 element and my
pictures may have improved since. ;-)

And as I learned many years ago, if  50% pass mark is as good as a 100%, why
try for the 100% ? ;-) And at my age once is enough compared to my younger
days when "once was never enough!" ;-)
