[Leica] FS: Finance My Trousseau. Cameras and Lenses for Sale

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

I have a wife - and over sixty cameras. Much as tho' I'd like to take that 
Canon V off your hands, I wouldn't have a wife afterwards. My collection of 
cameras and my wife appear to be mutually incompatible, so your trousseau 
won't be augmented by euros from Ireland.

That said I hope the day goes well!!

Douglas
