Re: [Leica] LUG Darkroom User Survey

Dan:

Add me to the list.  I use a V35 with the 40mm Focotar.  Works fine, better
than the Russian autofocus I had as a teenager that folded into a suitcase.
 Has anybody ever seen one of these lately?  It was certainly better then
the bottom of the line Dust I had previous to it.

Regards,

Robert
