We just got back from a week in London and I did not see a single M user; -a fair number of R users though. A guy stopped me on Westminster Bridge carrying an F5 and wanted to know what model Leica I was using and I told him an M6. Turned out that he was a staff photog for the LA Times and and had a broken M3 back home which he preferred to use and that he was going to repair someday but the cost was about $200. Found a mint 50/2.8 BM Collapsible Elmar for the equivalent of $240 at one of the Leica shops in Pied Bull Yard across from the British Museum. Also got a Billingham Bag for a little more than half what it would have cost here in the US. These were shops recommended by several London Lug users. Thank you! Jim Licquia, LSHA
