Well, there is a grand tale from LEICA PHOTOGRAPHY in the '50's of the skydiver who had his Leica slip away in free-fall. It fell 2,000 feet. He found it on the ground AND TOOK PICTURES WITH IT. The RF had been broken, but he guesstimated distance. All else was fine. Wow! Marc Marc James Small Cha Robh Bas Fir, Gun Ghras Fir! FAX: +540/343-7315
