Leica History:
Began "collecting" LTM cameras in the mid '60s while in graduate school 
in Urbana, Illinois for a drug store/camera shop/photo studio. Eventually 
had 'standard?', IIIa,b,c and various lenses. Spent a whole month's 
salary on M-2 and meter about the same time. Over the years traded off 
the LTMs for various M lenses. Now have 28-90 of various ages. Photograph 
mostly the countryside with slide film, in younger days did some B&W, but 
can't seem to put aside time for darkroom work any more.
Other photo gear: always have some type of Rollei around, currently 'cord 
and 35 SE, Calumet 4x5, and various other pieces that I am too attached to.
Current concern: Contacting Kindermann here in Canada re: check up for 
the M-2, has anybody had any luck with the email address given in their 
ad in Photo Life, the message has not returned but neither has it been 
replied to. Any hints?
