It's time for you to get one!! LEICA should give you one instead of all of those celebrities who don't know one side of the camera from another!<<<<<<< Hi Tina, Thank you for the Leica gift suggestion of an MM! Be a wonderful gift to say the least. :-) Although something like that has never happened in 50 years of using Leica's! Not one Leica at a time, but nearly always in sets of three bodies, M's and 3 SLR's along with motors and a pile of lenses!! I doubt it'll happen now. Besides I always paid for every bit of LEICA gear by the thousands upon thousands of dollars. I never expected anything different so never asked nor expected. In the good old days of shooting assignments every week almost non-stop. If I thought I needed a lens of some kind because it would allow me to shoot a better photo-essay? I bought it without a thought! Just got it! Out of the box and click-click away! Tests????? Never happened as one never had time for that silliness! Why bother in any event? IT WAS A LEICA! WHY BOTHER TESTING WHEN YOU'VE BOUGHT THE BEST! ;-) Besides I was too busy on assignments to be spending time thinking about getting a freebie camera or lens. :-) Thanks for the nice thought. :-) Cheers, ted
